Descendants of those who fought in the 1915 Gallipoli Campaign are being invited to take part in a London ceremony marking its 100th anniversary. One former serviceman has been telling BBC London 94.9's David Friend why he will be taking part. Helen Grant MP, who is the minister responsible for WW1 commemorations told us: "We are inviting descendants, whatever their nationality, to apply for free tickets to watch from a reserved area and actually join in the march past the Cenotaph. The public too are invited to come along."
