Tower of London poppies: Volunteers remove ceramic flowers

12 November 2014 Last updated at 12:29

Volunteers have started removing the ceramic poppies from the moat of the Tower of London.

The first one of the 888,246 hand-made poppies was planted in July, while the last was put in place by 13-year-old cadet Harry Hayes on Tuesday.

Each poppy represents the death of a British and Commonwealth soldier during World War One.

About 17,500 volunteers have planted poppies while a team of about 8,000 volunteers will dismantle them.

I heard on the radio they have to get them removed before we get a sharp frost as it would ruin them.

I tried to buy one but they had all been sold. I hope when some of the poppies go on tour, they come somewhere near me, so I can go and see them.
