What wonderful photos of the poppies and that lampshade is amazing iluleah.

The Shrouds of the Somme are very moving.

We were very honoured to be in St. Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall last year for the commemorative service for the Battle of Jutland. My grandfather was at Jutland on HMS Warrior and was one of the lucky ones who survived. The Weeping Window of poppies was magnificent.

Good evening,

Found my photo's from visiting the tower, there were actually 3 main pieces but the third doesn't appear to have a name.

This the "Wave", the "Weeping Window" and the third which flowed over the wall.

Back again,

Found this one of the kestrel who was hunting amongst the poppies.

Thank you each for sharing your wonderful images of the various poppy installations, as BarbW says, both stunning and poignant  :) and that's a lovely artistic tribute iluleah in honour of your great-uncle, well done.
