The Tower of London has been illuminated to mark the centenary of the end of the First World War in a public act of remembrance, honouring those who lost their lives. The installation, named ‘Beyond the Deepening Shadow’, is comprised of 10,000 torches which take 40 minutes to light by hand. It was designed by OW Tom Piper.
The torches are on display in the moat, and are lit by the Yeoman Warders and a team of volunteers every evening. This moving spectacle is accompanied by choral music, with words taken from war poet Mary Borden’s sonnets.
The installation is open from 4 to 11 November, and the gradual illumination of the Tower moat is carried out between 5pm and 7pm. Members of the public can see the installation free of charge.
Tom Piper also designed the Tower of London’s 2014 poppy installation, a vast display of 888,246 red ceramic poppies. The installation is currently touring, and is at present on show at the Imperial War Museum in London, where it will remain until 18 November.
