OK well first off they surveyed 1,000 people, and then think it is a fair representation of the millions of people in the country, which it is not.

Now to be honest I don't know much about D-Day, but that's becuase I don't care much for learning about history. It was perpahs the only subject at school that I didn't revise for or didn't get good grades in because I didn't enjoy it.

Now I don't mean to be disrespectful to all the people who gave their lives during the war, but they didn't have a choice. They where forced to go to war, so even though many gave their lives many probably wouldn't have gone given a choice. This is why I don't understand the need to remember it every year, and specifically I would have thought that those involved would like to do their best to forget it, seeing people they knew killed etc.
