Tower of London illuminated for Armistice tribute – BBC News
Around 10,000 flames have been lit at the Tower of London to mark the centenary of the end of World War I.
The tribute, called Beyond The Deepening Shadow, was designed by Tom Piper, the artist behind the poppy installation in 2014.
It will run each night until Armistice day 2018.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Tried to go and see this today. Just a pity it meant a two and a half hour wait in the rain to queue to see it and so we didn't bother. Why we weren't allowed to just go and look like we did with the poppies, I really don't know. They must have had a similar turnout of people in 2014 and could cope with the numbers then……

Honestly surprised this hasn't been banned to please the very few who find this offensive. They didn't fight two world wars for their country to be given away or to please the minority but that's sadly the way things are going. We have the most liberal "right wing" government there is and it's pathetic

The bigotry in the comment section is deeply disturbing… Can we not just use it to remember those who fought and remember the same hate that caused these wars in the first place.

The Great war was great for the banksters – just not so great for the poor saps that had to fight in it. Just Christians killing Christians whilst the banksters sat back in their counting houses and consolidated their power over the West. I see nothing to honour here.

Not the ROYAL WAR ! On your knees while you are over run with immigrants and your FAKE Queen reproduces like a rabbit to rob the people of more and more and more while they all hide behind walls. The British People are suffering!!! Stupid Windsors and Rothchilds! Time for a hanging…I give a damn less about something 200 years ago! Then the Royals want money to rebuild old broken down building and sky scrapers to make the people feel locked in a prison with no views but of more walls! Time to KICK THE WINDSORS TO THE CURB!

The poppy the ancient symbol of being asleep. Today the poppy is used to celebrate JP Morgan's World War One. It was a stunning victory for the bankers.

You racist morons in the comments making it out like only white Britons died in the war. It was a WORLD war. Britain had an empire, and many non-Britons were forced to fight on behalf of the UK. GET AN EDUCATION!

Two Word Wars which achieved absolutely nothing, killing millions of Europeans and other ethnic groups in the process. Now Europe is in decline, our leaders are pushing us into unnecessary wars and Europeans are being replaced in their own countries.
