Over half of Brits have only discovered an interesting fact or story about a relative after they have passed away – and a quarter regret not asking sooner, a study has found.
The top discoveries people have made about a late relative include tales of their wartime experiences (29%), their childhood (28%), and where they travelled (23%).
And such revelations have left them feeling intrigued (32%), shocked (26%), and proud (25%) – with almost half (45%) saying they felt closer to their family member, according to the poll of 2,000 adults.
