Armistice Day 2025: Last chance to see the poppies at the Tower of London
The poppies will be removed from the Tower of London tomorrow, coinciding with Armistice Day 2025.
Earlier this year, nearly 30,000 ceramic poppies were installed at the Tower of London in commemoration of Victory in Europe (VE) Day.
The display, titled The Tower Remembers, serves as a memorial to those who served and sacrificed during World War II. It was installed to commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
The poppies are on loan from the Imperial War Museum and were initially displayed as part of artist Paul Cummins ‘Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red’ installation at the Tower in 2014, commemorating the centenary of the First World War.
The new display, created by designer Tom Piper, has been on view since May 6th. The poppies will be removed from the Tower of London tomorrow, coinciding with Armistice Day 2025.
The display will close at 11am tomorrow, cumulating with a minute’s silence. The Tower of London closes at 5:30pm today (10th November.)
