|  | According research based on a telephone poll for Sky digital of 1,000 randomly selected people from across the UK, over 8 out of 10 twenty-somethings will pay tribute to the victims of the World Wars this week, proving that honouring fallen heroes is no longer just relevant to the older generations. But exactly how people will pay their own tributes remains a very individual thing. Whether it's stopping to remember during the two minute silence, taking part in a church ceremony, buying a poppy or simply pausing for thought during the next week, it seems that the act of remembrance remains as strong as ever.
Your thoughts...
fletch the world wars achieve more more 'coverage' due to the scale of the carnage, a trip round the war graves in france is still extremely moving, even after all these years. all losses though, are remembered, and are important. something that should be remembered everyday, is that people gave their lives so we can live in freedom... Ben I am a free man now thanks to the soldiers. Ben I did rememberance day Tad I'm a teenager (14) and I think the remembrance services are important and still relevant today. The two minute silence really does make you stop and think. Especially about more recent wars like the one in Iraq and whats happening in the middle east. Jayne Deveaux I'm married to a serving Army officer and hardly a day goes by without either of us thinking about the people we've known over the years who've been affected by war and conflict. I think it's a case of 'out of sight, out of mind'. Remembrance is something that should take place 365 days of the year. Simon I think too much emphasis is placed on remembering the last two world wars - what about the recent conflict in Iraq or Northern ireland? We should spend more time considering these events...
