A stunning installation featuring almost one million ceramic poppies opened at the Tower of London earlier this week.
Not to be outdone, a Perthshire farmer has unveiled a living memorial to those lost in the First World War.
In a touching tribute, six acres of poppies have been grown at Mains of Gourdie Farm, near Spittalfield, to mark the centenary of the Great War.
Farm manager Dave Dawson revealed what had inspired his fantastic floral display.
He said: “The farm is owned by the Cox family and George Cox was a major in The Black Watch battalion. There is a real personal connection for them.
“The grass field in front of their home at Gourdie House had to be resown, so we thought it would be nice to do something to mark the 100th anniversary of the First World War.”
After sowing the seeds in May, Mr Dawson faced an anxious wait to see if the poppies would flourish.
Thankfully the recent spell of warm weather has transformed the field into a beautiful and colourful carpet of flowers.
Mr Dawson added: “The poppies look absolutely stunning. They are probably about 60% in flower at the moment and the rest are just about ready to appear.
“I think they will be at their best for another two to three weeks, so there’s plenty of time to enjoy them.”
The Tower of London installation, Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, will run until November 11.
