Handmade by GCHQ staff and friends, the giant waterfall of poppies is on display at Gloucester Cathedral throughout November to mark the centenary of World War One.

Taking pride of place in the cathedral’s lady chapel, the installation is in place from Wednesday 17 October until Monday 26 November 2018, and was originally created in 2016 to coincide with the 2016 Poppy Appeal.

Previously on display inside the intelligence agency, members of the public are given the opportunity to catch a glimpse of this stunning installation in the heart of Gloucester’s most famous landmark.
