the Tower of London Poppies.
I was in London this week and saw this commemorative installation. You can buy the poppies online if you want one and each is named to a different soldier who fell in the Great War.
I had spent the earlier part of the day at the IWM and in particular at their Great War exhibition.

Whateverits just an opinion.
Mine's ordered for when the display finishes after Armistice day, a good cause for the Service charities I like to support.
