| The Exhibition info plaque. It is possible to buy the poppies and some of the proceeds will go to help 6 charities connected to the armed forces. I have ordered mine - you can visit the website as shown on the plaque to buy your poppy - www.hrp.org.uk/TowerOfLondon |

| This is my favourite bit by the entrance to the Tower |
 |
| This was in August |
 |
| Now in September the moat is filling up fast! |
 | |
| Path to the mound from where the Roll of Honour is read each evening at sunset and the Last Post is played. |
 |
| A view from the moat at the end of my shift. |
 |
| We were allowed to walk around the whole installation so this is the bit by Cradle Tower. |
 |
| A poppy 100% assembled and planted by me! |
 |
| My patch. I think I planted about 25 poppies and spent the rest of the time assembling rods. |
 |
| One of the ceramic poppies ready to plant. |
 | |
| The work area ready for the volunteers! Each shift has to plant 6000 poppies to be on target for 11 November. |
 |
| A view in August. It is amazing how quickly work is progressing. |
 |
| The view is really quite stunning. |
 |
| The idea for this sculpture/installation is beyond clever imho! |
 |
| The poppies are planted at varying heights for effect. This is best seen from ground level. |
 |
| Here you can appreciate the numbers! That said they are only half way at 450,000. |

| As I left I took this photo from Tower Bridge and the 3 tongues you can see are where I was working. I can't wait to do another shift and I am so grateful to have been part of this wonderful project. |
