Suitability
The event is suitable as 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of WW1. The event will help those to look back on the past where the event will present interesting information to the public considering as it was so long ago and the brave soldiers who lost their lives during the war can be remembered. The event would probably not be suitable for younger children but very suitable for older adults or people who are possibly survivors of the war.
