First Tower of London poppies removed

Volunteers have started removing the ceramic poppies that make up the Blood-Swept Lands and Seas of Red installation at the Tower of London.

The first one of the 888,246 hand-made poppies was planted in July, while the last was put in place by 13-year-old cadet Harry Hayes on Tuesday.

Each poppy represents the death of a British and Commonwealth soldier during World War One.
