Last night thousands turned off their lights to mark the start of the First World War - today an extraordinary tribute to those who fell was unveiled. All around the Tower of London, 888, 246 ceramic poppies will be placed- one for ever British and Commonwealth soldier who died. The final poppy will be put in position on Armistice Day - November 11th. Liz Copper reports now from the factory in Stoke on Trent - entrusted with making it happen.
