Journalist Simon Ricketts described the project as having:[7] {{Quote|the power of art, of human tribute, of sombre significance. #Wearehere is a deeply uplifting action that was much needed.}}and Creative Review called it:[8] {{Quote|one of the most meaningful UK public art projects of recent times}}On the evening of the day of the event, Deller and Norris discussed it on BBC Radio 4's Front Row programme.[9] A documentary, Jeremy Deller: We're here because we're here was broadcast on BBC television on 13 November 2016, Remembrance Sunday.[4] Deller and Norris's book, with 100 photographs of the event, was published on the battle's 101st anniversary.[10] Venues and locationsVenues & locations included:[1] {{Flatlist|
