1 of 888,246

One life out of 888,246 that died during WWI is represented by this single poppy.

Colchester and Cambridge both had populations of just over 121,000 in 2011. Christchurch, NZ, had a population of 367,700 in 2011 - just a thought!

I was torn between this and this shot of many poppies which made me think of bodies piled up in the mud and mire around the trenches.

I wish it had been quieter around the Tower so I could have stopped and had a think.
