Placing men dressed as British soldiers in Belfast to commemorate World War One carried "huge risks" that were worth taking.
That was the finding of a Westminster committee report looking into lessons from centenary events.
The memorial project called 'we're here because we're here' was found to be ultimately "hugely successful".
The report was published by the House of Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) committee.
Members were also told that the "Irish dimension" was one of the most productive aspects of the commemorations.
