Subdeacon Joe Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-30001177 The last poppy was planted by cadet Harry Hayes, 13, from Reading Blue Coat School I think they have taken ownership of it and the reason why I think they have done that is that specific number, 888,246 - not a random number - that is the number of British and Colonial soldiers who lost their lives in the First World War. Floodlights are already being used to ensure more people get to see the piece.
