Natasha Kaplinsky, Tony Robinson, Alistair McGowan and Nicky Campbell will also make special appearances at the event, which bring together renowned history and family experts, TV historians and celebrity enthusiasts in an activity-filled weekend.
'Visitors to the stand in 2007 exceeded all expectations – they were queuing down the aisle! – so we doubled our display area this year.' said museum representative Leah Birch. 'As well as talking to our experts, visitors can also meet military actor-interpreters, and find out about life in the army for a Redcoat or a World War One officer.'
Those who want to find out more can book appointments at the stand for an in-depth interview with an expert at the Museum's Family History Week, 24 May-1 June.
Family History Week will offer expert advice and research tips on tracing visitors' military past. Visitors can also bring along family memorabilia and attend workshops exploring family history, and how it can be told. Entry is free. -- www.national-army-museum.ac.uk
