In 2014 the Tower of London hosted "Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red" which was the moat filled with poppies, representing soldiers that had died in World War 1. Hundreds of volunteers helped build the memorial in the spring of 2014 and then take it down in autumn. As the Volunteer Centre Manager I took 60+ students and staff over two days to help take down the installation. It was a truly remarkable experience standing in the moat of the Tower of London and the student volunteers did a fantastic job. They even built a small production line to make the process more efficient! It's one of my favourite memories from my time working at LSE.

CV19 A Film by the Department of Government
Part of LSE Community Histories
Submitted by: Cheryl Schonhardt-Bailey
Date: May-August 2020
During Britain's first Covid lockdown in spring/early summer 2020, the Government Department launched a project to communicate some of the research that we were conducting on responses to Covid by various countries. Even as we were all working from home, we put together this film, which explores the emergency powers that governments were using to control the spread of coronavirus, and how the relationship between the people and their governments had fundamentally changed.
"CV-19: A Film by the Department of Government" highlights research being carried out into the impact and consequences of these changing relationships. The film explores the threat to liberal democratic norms, public support for an authoritarian government response, how governments are being held accountable, what the effects are on public transport and a new digital frontier for political campaigning.
As a measure of the interest in this film, the contributors held a roundtable discussion (over Zoom) in November 2020, and this is also available online. More broadly, the film has achieved remarkable success in film festival competitions. As of July 2021, and from international film festivals in 13 countries, the film has received 16 top awards (Best Short Documentary, Best Health Film, Best Edited Film, Best Web an New Media, etc), as well as 3 finalist positions, 2 semi-finalist positions, 13 official selections and 2 honorable mentions.
