There are memorials and then there are living memorials. None has made an impact more than the millions of ceramic poppies that now fill the dry moat of the Tower of London.
They commemorate the hundredth anniversary of England entering into the First World War.
The brilliant concept of Paul Cummins, these poppies gush from one of the gun ports in the ancient tower and represent the river of blood that was effused in the nation during the years of 1914 to 1918.
Its title is: "Blood swept lands and seas of red"
May God grant this race of human-beings wisdom to beat our swords into plow-shares before we annihilate ourselves and bring His blessed creation to a ghastly end.
