As some of you know I posted some pictures at the start of the Poppy planting at the Tower of London a few weeks back. This afternoon I went back to see the progress. We had planned on getting some night shots but there were far too many people there and they didn't seem to be lit so we headed home.

Feel free to just flick through, there are quiet a few.

The last time I took a picture from here, this side was just being started.

An idea of just how many people were there!
