People have been asked to delay visiting a First World War memorial at the Tower of London because it has proved so popular.
Tens of thousands of people made the trip to view the sea of red ceramic poppies in the former moat of the landmark on Friday, leading to problems of overcrowding as the country basked in unseasonably warm temperatures.
London Underground was forced to temporarily close nearby Tower Hill Tube station due to the number of visitors.
The public is being advised to postpone visits, or to go earlier or later in the day.
A spokesman for Historic Royal Palaces, which manages the site, said: "Please note that the Tower of London and the surrounding area is currently very busy due to half-term and interest in the poppies installation.
"We're advising people to postpone their visit to the Tower until after half-term if possible, or to visit earlier in the day, before 10am, or later in the day, after 6pm."
The poppy memorial, Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, was created by ceramic artist Paul Cummins.
By Armistice Day on November 11 there will be 888,246 ceramic poppies planted, one for each British and Colonial death during the conflict which began 100 years ago.
