The Daily Mail patio falangists strike again.

There are very many examples of lottery funding going to war and armed conflict commemoration projects.

The £12.3 million Home Front Recall scheme is a joint funding initiative from lottery good cause distributors the Big Lottery Fund and the Heritage Lottery Fund to provide grants for activities across the UK to commemorate the part played by those on the home front during the war years – among them veteran firefighters, auxiliary services, nurses, Bevin Boys, dock workers, ex-service clubs and people in many other roles.

The RAF Museum is to undergo a major £7.5 million expansion at its site in Hendon, north-west London, with additional space for historic aircraft and a large-scale exhibition scheduled to mark the centenary of powered flight in 2003.

Their Past Year Future is a two-year education project that explores what we can learn about issues such as commemoration, conflict and citizenship. Marking the sixtieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War, the project is led by the Imperial War Museum and supported by the Big Lottery Fund. Their Past Your Future includes a wide range of activity for all ages throughout the UK. Find out more.
