Tri-Service
Next Stop For Blood Swept Lands And Seas of Red
It was one of the star attractions of 2014.
Millions of visitors to the Tower of London between July and November were met with the majestic sight of nearly 900,000 ceramic poppies covering the grounds, each one representing a British or Colonial soldier killed in World War One.
The famous exhibition, designed to commemorate the outbreak of the conflict, is now on the move, touring around the UK - and first stop is a museum in Northumbria.
A section of the poppies were bought by the government, as well as privately, to go round the country for the next three years on tour.
