The Tower of London poppy display is downright amazing, what's even more amazing is they sold each poppy and the money will go toward their six armed forces charities, many of the flowers are ending up on eBay, eBay in turn is cancelling those auctions as inappropriate.
It's hard to see the scale of it all, but there are 888,246 ceramic poppies, these are not those little poppies you get for a donation here in the states.
