Nearly four million people were expected to have visited an installation
at the Tower of London to mark the centenary of the start of World War One by 12 November 2014.
Blood Swept Lands And Seas Of Red by ceramic artist Paul Cummins has proven so popular there have been calls for it to be extended.
London Mayor Boris Johnson was among those to have suggested the dismantling of the installation could be postponed. Thousands of people have also signed an e-petition calling for the poppies to remain.
To allow as many people as possible to see the installation, the hours that the site was illuminated were extended. From Friday, the poppies were lit from 04:30 GMT until dawn and then from dusk until midnight.

To allow as many people as possible to see the installation, the hours that the site was illuminated were extended. From Friday, the poppies were lit from 04:30 GMT until dawn and then from dusk until midnight.
Слайд 5The first ceramic poppy was planted in July and the final
one was added on 11 November. By then, 888,246 poppies filled the moat, each one representing a British or colonial death during the conflict.
Слайд 6The scale is best appreciated from on high. Here, the red
moat of the Tower of London is pictured from the top of the Shard.
Слайд 7The artwork was put together with the help of the stage
designer Tom Piper, who said he had wanted to create a "fluid and organic feel to it, you could see it as blood, water or life force".
Слайд 8Pearly King of Bow Bells Harry Mayhead, who served in Egypt
and France for the Royal Army Service Corps in World War Two, helped to plant the poppies,
Слайд 10 Chelsea Pensioner Albert Willis (left), Yeoman Warder Paul Cunilffe (centre) and
Grenadier Guard Joe Robinson, representing three generations of military service, posed for photographers.
Слайд 11 The poppies have been sold for £25 each with all net
proceeds plus 10% of every sale being shared between six service charities, including Help for Heroes and the Royal British Legion.
Слайд 12 The installation began in early August and has evolved over the
weeks, put together by 8,000 volunteers. The poppies ranged in height from 15cm (6in) to 1m tall. "The installation is transient, I found this poignant and reflective of human life, like those who lost their lives during World War One," said Cummins.
Слайд 13Photographs of servicemen have been placed on the railings that surround
the moat. The Tower of London was where more than 1,600 men swore an oath to the Crown after enlisting for the war.
Слайд 15 Despite calls to extend the installation beyond 12 November, Historic Royal
Palaces said it was always the intention to begin sending the poppies - which have been sold for charity - to their new owners after Armistice Day.
Mr Cummins has also said he never intended the installation to be permanent as it was meant to symbolize that human beings are "transient".
"The idea was it will only be there for a finite time like we are," he said.
"It will be nice to keep it here but it isn't mine anymore - it belongs to the world now."
