  Campaigners for a memorial to Britain's "forgotten" armed forces heroes have claimed a victory after winning a £2.8m lottery grant.

  The Millennium Commission's donation is a milestone in the effort to honour 16,000 servicemen and women killed since the end of the Second World War, and follows the Big Lottery Fund's controversial refusal to provide funding because the project did not fit its criteria.
