Closed To cancel centenary celebrations of the START of the First World War, and celebrate the centenary of the END.

Closed on

It does not seem a fitting remembrance to the sacrifice of one million British soldiers in the First World War to be celebrating the centenary of the START of the conflict. Surely it would be more fitting to commemorate the END and delay centenary celebrations until 2018.
