    Same thing. Even if it's a solemn ceremony ,it still amounts to an excuse to wave the flag and get all misty eyed about Britain as a warmongering nation. I don't see that as much less distasteful than having a street party .
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

        Chortle - good point

        I imagine the celebrations will be rather muted in the Belgian city of Louvain

          I think we should celebrate it, by Jingo

          Chaps, pack up your troubles while you roll out the barrell, because it's a long way to Tipperary.

          It's a long way to go.

            One can remember the death and destruction, and show respect for those who gave their lives without it being a celebration, or even necessarily agreeing with it.

              I thought the idea was to commemorate it, not celebrate it.

              Not sure what there problem is, even they really object maybe they shouldn't have kicked off nearly 100 years ago (I know technically they didn't start it but they are generally universally blamed)
