Lord Provost Frank Ross and workers from Lady Haig Poppy Factory unveiled the clock on Tuesday morning.

The Floral Clock was first commissioned in 1903 and consists of 35,000 small plants on and around the 3.6m-wide clock.

The flowers bloom between July and October.

The Lord Provost said: "It is an honour to be able to support the life-changing work carried out by Poppyscotland with this Floral Clock design, which this year will provide a particularly poignant reminder of the signing of the Armistice, 100 years on from the end of World War One.

"As always, I am delighted to officially unveil this striking and much-loved creation, which is a source of enjoyment and fascination for so many people every day, and I'd like to congratulate our dedicated parks staff, whose hard work has paid off once again."

Gordon Michie, head of fundraising at Poppyscotland, said: "I am delighted that the City of Edinburgh Council has chosen to commemorate the signing of the Armistice this year by dedicating the world-famous Floral Clock to Poppyscotland and our work supporting beneficiaries across Scotland.

"This support, which is part of our wider #1918PoppyPledge campaign, will give a unique, powerful and emotive view of Remembrance in the vibrancy and colour of the 35,000 flowers that have been planted."
