The Tower poppies was a wonderful sight and now they are doing a very poignant 'Deepening Shadow' candle display to commemorate the centenary of the end of the first world war. Each night for eight nights between 5pm and 9pm the Tower moat will gradually be filled with thousands of individually lit flames.
The installation will begin with a procession led by the Yeoman Warders, who'll emerge from the Tower to ceremonially light the first flame. Volunteers will then light the rest of the installation over four hours, gradually creating a circle of light, radiating from the Tower.
The display will be accompanied by a specially commissioned sound installation. At the centre of this is a new choral work, with words from war poet Mary Borden's Sonnets to a Soldier.
I saw CNN had shown the candle video Blue. The Tower is a fascinating place and the Warders need the patience of saints to deal with the mass of visitors.
They have ways and means of dealing with it though which is rather comical .

Oh gosh, Solo.........this video was hillarious, I laughed all the way through it, he was really funnny. Thanks for posting this I enjoyed it......
Well my lovelies.
I am rather unwell, I have a lump inside my top lip. They think there might be something stuck in there, and I need to be seen by a surgeon. That is all I need, so close to my trip to New York.
