Including more and more young people -- glad to hear it! I can't tell you how many people my age (25) I run into that ask what my major is and when I answer history they groan! I just don't understand it.
Neil Griffiths is a spokesman for the Royal British Legion --
Mr Griffiths said: "We have a very successful best-kept war memorial competition every summer and the standard is on the up. "Attendances of Remembrance Sunday events are also increasing."
He added: "In the past, the generations of the 60s and 70s got bored being told stories of World War II from their parents and it is the grandchildren and great grandchildren that have become fascinated with the world wars.
"There has been a cultural shift and now we have a generation not only hugely interested in that period of history, but also well educated."
There are some interesting remembrance facts at the link, too.
