Photos: Tower of London poppies sum up mood of a nation
The eyes of the nation focused on a sea of red poppies at the Tower of London as the country took time out to reflect on The Fallen.
While hundreds of people gathered at poignant ceremonies across East Lancashire, the amazing ‘Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red’ installation summed up the sombre and reflective mood of the nation.
Two minutes’ silence to remember The Fallen was observed in workplaces, schools, colleges and shops across the country as we marked the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of World War One.
