"The Prime Minister referred to the celebrations both in the house and in interviews."

This from Lord Clark of Windermere (Labour) who asked what plans had been made to commemorate the centenary of the First World War in the House of Lords on 4th March 2013:
"The Government have recognised these sensitivities. Correctly, they have ruled out any talk whatever of celebration, and the emphasis is on commemoration and remembrance, and that is correct. They appear to have the tone right, although I trust that over the four years of the commemorations there will be flexibility in which we can adapt to what is needed. The Prime Minister identified the objectives when he said on 11 October last year that the commemoration was,
"to honour those who served; to remember those who died; and to ensure that the lessons learned live with us".
