Jeremy Paxman is concerned.

Reported on the BBC, Jeremy Paxman states his reservations about the style of the UK government led "celebration of WW1". I presume that details of the planned events next year are starting to leak out? I wonder if there is a little party politics involved, in the form of jingoism and "celebration", rather than sad reflection?
Surely the commemorations should centre on a memorial day parade led by the Royal Family in July? Combined with the Rememberence Day in November, that would give two sombre days for reflection.
