It looks beautiful, can’t believe they have so many, it’s literally like a sea isn’t it?

  Thanks very much. It really is like a sea, it’s an incredible sight. They were still hard at work adding to them.

My eye was initially drawn to Tower Bridge, then I saw the poppies. Very poignant.

  Thanks very much! I took the pic for my daughter who wanted a photo of Tower Bridge, but I was pleased with the way it turned out with the poppies.

The strip of mud and puddle is evocative of the trenches. Very clever shot.

Love this shot with the leaves framing the photo and Tower Bridge in the background. It’s quite sobering to see just how many poppies there are around the Tower of London.

  Thanks very much. It’s incredible just how many poppies there are – it’s hard to get your head round the fact that each one represents someone who died.
