I did see the images of this yesterday, and I have to say it really was a sight to behold.
But no ... I just learned by reading BBC news they are ceramic poppies that were carefully placed. I sincerely wish I could see this in person. It is an incredible sight.

In a different article, I linked to the Tower of London on the Historic Royal Palaces website (hrp.org.uk) where it discusses this artistic display. Here is a brief mention of it:
Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red
The evolving installation by ceramic artist Paul Cummins, with setting by stage designer Tom Piper, will be unveiled on 5 August 2014; one hundred years since the first full day of Britain’s involvement in the First World War.
Entitled 'Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red', the installation is being created in the Tower’s famous dry moat. It will continue to grow throughout the summer until the moat is filled with 888,246 ceramic poppies, each poppy representing a British or Colonial military fatality during the war.
The poppies will encircle the Tower, creating not only a spectacular display, but also an inspiring setting for learning activities, as well as providing a location for personal reflection. The scale of the installation reflects the magnitude of such an important centenary, creating a powerful visual commemoration. The last poppy will symbolically be planted on 11 November 2014.

Neither did I until I read it in the article last night, though I didn't really pay much attention to the 2013 film. It was awful.
Burns was also in Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation, now that is the one I wish I could forget.
RIP Mr. Golan.
Just read this on Yahoo and thought of you, @Murdock, as you enjoy the Death Wish films so much. Plus he gave us Van Damme's first film that made him famous, Blood Sport.
What about Leatherface: Thexas Chainsaw Massacre III? Some fans of the series (but not this fan) have a real downer on it, then again, i've seen fans defend TNG...
Also, Viggo Mortensen is in it? Yet another actor who made it big, but first started out in a little-known TCM film.
EDIT: Actor JJ Murphy has passed away. He was four days into shooting for his role on 'Game of Thrones,' for which he will not be recast:

Rest In Peace, you were truly one of a kind!
He was one of my favourite stand up comedians . A true genius. And a very talented actor to boot.
A sad day.RIP
