Don't want the poppies to disappear from Tower of London? An online campaign has begun to keep them

An online petition has been set up to keep the 888,246 poppies at Tower of London for another year.

Millions of people have visited the installation, Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, which was created by ceramic artist Paul Cummins.

By Armistice Day on November 11 there will be 888,246 ceramic poppies planted, one for each British and colonial death during the conflict which began 100 years ago.

Each poppy has been sold to the public, with a share of the proceeds going to six charities. They are due to be kept on display until Armistice Day.

But Steven Robbins has launched an official petition to try and persuade the government to keep the poppies there for another 12 months.

If the e-petition reaches 100,000 signatures it will be eligible to be debated in the House of Commons. If you want to poppies to stay, you can sign the petition here.
