Although there is a petition to keep the poppies at The Tower for at least another year HRP say they will begin taking them away on the 12th.....but they are now going to be floodlit until midnight....that should look lovely.

They are, however, planning more ways of "marking the coming years of the centenary" and "continuing the legacy of the poppies".

They have a hard act to follow....but I'm sure they'll succeed.

Can you think of anything that could be as stunning as the poppies have been....or should this be left as an amazing one off?

I think the poppies should come to an end. It was never meant to be a permanent exhibition, and I think the longer they stay the more they will lose their effect until in another month they'd just be part of the background. They're a memorial, not a tourist attraction to be milked.

It is a fantastic display at the Tower but I think it should be a one off, gness.
