How Tower of London poppies grew from a single flower to a stunning sea of red – in visitors' pics

On Thursday 17 July a Beefeater planted a single ceramic poppy in the Tower of London moat.

Since that day over 800,000 have been added and more than four million people have visited the display – many of them taking photos as the poppies continued to swell in number.

We’ve collected some of the pictures posted by visitors and volunteers over the last four months – creating a fascinating record of how the display evolved from a single poppy to a vast sea of crimson.
