Artist creates 300ft high poppy set against the Northern Lights near Yorkshire for Remembrance Day

Sn artist has created a stunning 300ft high poppy set against the Northern Lights for a special Remembrance Day tribute.

Claire Eason was lining up her drone to etch out the flower in the sky when the aurora borealis suddenly appeared.

To create her ‘Poppy of Light’ artwork, she first sketched her design of the iconic flower on paper before transferring it onto a computer.

She then used the co-ordinates of each pen stroke to plot a flight path which she programmed into her drone which was equipped with a lighting rig.

Amazing video shows the drone taking to the sky at dusk to ‘paint’ the poppy sprouting from the top of Cleadon Hill windmill in South Shields.
