The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh inspected Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red at the Tower of London
Her Majesty looked sombre as she and Prince Philip, himself a former military man, toured the installation
Afterwards, the royal couple took part in a thanksgiving service at the Tower chapel, St Peter-ad-Vincula
With almost all of the 888,246 poppies now in place, the Queen was almost hidden among the sea of ceramic crimson blooms as she toured the Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red installation at the Tower of London this morning.
Accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, himself a former naval officer, Her Majesty looked sombre as she inspected the display which includes one flower for every British or Commonwealth soldier killed during the First World War.
The Queen was making her first public appearance since returning to London from her summer holiday at Balmoral in Aberdeenshire last month. The last fortnight has, however, seen the Queen back on duty with a series of investitures and meetings at Buckingham Palace all on her schedule.
