Over 5 million people travelled from across the country and around the world to see the installation of 888 246 ceramic poppies at the tower of london. Volunteers have spent months installing 888 246 hand made poppies each representing a british and colonial soldier who died. Each of these memorial poppies holds a special place as a memory of the fallen british soldiers from the first world war. I no longer have the booklet that came with the poppy hence the lower price however it is in the original box.
