Pretty, but mawkish, in a “Let’s all have a good cry” kind of way. A lot like the 9/11 commemorations. The Brits are turning American.

Agreed. I think it is symbolic of a recently prevalent attitude of “I have improved the world by feeling this way”. Just my opinion bit I think that the first consideration of any memorial should be how those being remembered would want to be honored.

Whilst you are correct about the British losing their stiff upper lip, you are wrong to see this as a modern example, this isn’t mawkish and fits in with the last 96 yrs of commemorations. Its dignified.
