Donnchadh O'Ceallacháin from Waterford Museum of Treasures will be giving tonight's lecture and says it'll be a reflection on the past 100 years.

"I'll be looking at how the Waterford men and women were remembered, or not as the case may be, here in the City and County," he said, "and I'll be looking at the lives some of those who lost their lives in the war."

Tonight's event takes place at 8 o'clock and all are welcome.
