The Wave poppy sculpture was part of the Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red installation

An iconic ceramic poppy sculpture which formed part of the Tower of London installation could be displayed in north Wales.

Wrexham council has bid to host the 'Wave' at Llwyn Isaf green in the centre of the town.

The installation marked 100 years since the outbreak of WWI.

Armed forces champion, councillor David Griffiths, said the location would be "accessible to all" and would "showcase the sculpture in a fantastic way".

The outcome of the bid will be known by 30 September.
