Poppy memorial time-lapse at Tower of London from dawn to dusk

In the lead-up to Remembrance Day, volunteers have been planting thousands of ceramic poppies in the lawn around the Tower of London to remember those who died in the First World War. The Telegraph filmed a time-lapse of the field of poppies from to 5pm on Tuesday as huge crowds paraded past. The memorial, which was created by artist Paul Cummins, includes 888,246 ceramic poppies which have been progressively filling the Tower’s moat. At the peak of the installation on November 11, there will be one poppy for each British fatality in the First World War. Up to four million people are expected to have visited the installation, called Blood Swept Lands And Seas Of Red.
