NOTES FROM DIANE ARMSTRONG:
* One in three people over 65 will develop dementia
* Alzheimer's Society research shows that 800,000 people in the UK have a form of dementia; more than half have Alzheimer's disease. In less than ten years a million people will be living with dementia. This will soar to 1.7 million people by 2051
* Alzheimer's Society champions the rights of people living with dementia and the millions of people who care for them
