Was interested to hear this, in passing, on BBC Breakfast this morning and then to see it confirmed on the website this afternoon.

Can this be extended to commemorations of those who die in wartime, or does the fact that our service men and women die in battle all the time make this a different matter? For instance, will we soon - perhaps after 2018 - lose the 1st World War element of November's Remembrance Day event?
