The Tower has unveiled a striking new installation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrp.org.uk\/tower-of-london\/whats-on\/tower-remembers-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Tower Remembers<\/a>, marking 80 years since the end of the Second World War. Nearly 30,000 ceramic poppies now bloom within the fortress walls, spilling across the lawn in a hauntingly beautiful tribute to lives lost and history remembered. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"69436\" width=\"890\" data-init-width=\"1194\" height=\"601\" data-init-height=\"806\" title=\"Screenshot 2021-08-13 at 3.59.44 PM\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screenshot-2021-08-13-at-3.59.44-PM.png\" data-width=\"890\" data-height=\"601\" style=\"aspect-ratio: auto 1194 \/ 806;\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"3434826046\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\" mt-d=\"-6.014999999999986\" ml-d=\"0\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Created by designer Tom Piper, this installation is both eye-catching and deeply moving. It evokes a wound in the heart of the Tower, a crater of crimson where the past meets the present. If these poppies look familiar, they should. In 2014, the original sea of 888,246 poppies famously filled the Tower\u2019s moat to commemorate WWI. This new display, on loan from the Imperial War Museum, is more intimate but no less emotional and is a stirring tribute to resilience and remembrance. The Tower Remembers runs until November 11, 2025, which is Armistice Day.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the installation, the Tower itself is a large slice of British history. You\u2019ll meet ravens with royal duties, Beefeaters with tales that rival any thriller, and rooms that once echoed with the footsteps of kings, queens \u2014 and prisoners. From Anne Boleyn\u2019s tragic final hours to the gleam of the Crown Jewels, every corner tells a story. <\/p>\n<h2>Recommened tickets to Tower of London<\/h2>\n<p>Access to the installation is included in entry tickets to the Tower of London.

A seasoned writer and editor, I fully believe that the pen is mightier than the sword. If I were given three wishes, one would definitely be to have the ability to travel - in time, dimension and places! Basically, I want a TARDIS! Of the 40 countries I've visited, Jordan, Japan, Italy and Croatia are my top favourite. London, having lived there, will always have my love, but Nepal and India have my soul! I love adventure (I'm from the mountains, what did you expect!), sports, music and food, so I travel to catch concerts, matches and races. I mostly write about off-beat travel, local experiences, best shopping spots, travel guides and coffee shops. Basically, give me coffee, a book, adventures and an enchanted forest, and you'll never hear me complain.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/aakankshasd\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/aakankshasinghdevi\/","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/AakankshaSD"],"url":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/author\/aakanksha\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201103"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/144"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=201103"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201103\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":201105,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201103\/revisions\/201105"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/201107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=201103"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=201103"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=201103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
