Stars back 'A Day to Remember' dementia campaign
Sir Michael Parkinson, Fiona Phillips and Gordon Banks are supporting the national 'A Day to Remember' campaign, calling for the public not to delay talking about dementia.
New research from Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI) found that a quarter of people hide their diagnosis because of negative connotations surrounding dementia.
The new campaign, which is part of Prime Minister David Cameron's pledge to help change people's understanding of dementia, has been launched today on World Alzheimer's Day.
Ministers hope it will raise awareness of the condition, what initial signs and symptoms look like and how to seek help.
