Families urged to look for early dementia signs

Families are being urged to look out for the warning signs of dementia when they visit their elderly relatives.

It is part of a government advertising campaign in England aimed at encouraging early diagnosis.

Experts believe the festive period is a time when many people realise family members may have a memory problem.

Alzheimer's sufferer Derek Wilson, carer Yvonne Wilson, and Alzheimer's campaigner Fiona Phillips have described their own experiences.
