Prime Minister David Cameron planted a ceramic poppy at the Tower of London today after announcing parts of the popular artwork will remain in place until the end of the month.
Parts of the artwork will then tour sites around the UK until 2018 before being permanently displayed at the Imperial War Museum.
Penalty fines paid by banks over the Libor rate rigging scandal will be used to fund a tour of the Tower of London poppies across the UK until 2018.
From next week many of the ceramic poppies will be dismantled before being sent to buyers who have paid £25 each for them.
But part of the installation, the Weeping Willow and the Wave, will remain until the end of the month before being sent on tour.
Chancellor George Osborne said £500,000 of Libor fines would be used "to ensure that people across the country will be able to see this moving tribute over the next four years".
He added: "It's only right that fines from those who have demonstrated the very worse of values should go to support those who have shown the best of British values."
Millions of people have visited the poppies at the Tower of London. Here are some of the best pictures from you.
Visitors hoping to see the Tower of London poppies are being urged to stay up late or get up before dawn.
The art installation made up of 888,246 poppies in the moat is due to be dismantled on November 12th.
