A special edition of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire (WWTBAM) is to be held to coincide with Remembrance Sunday.<\/p>\n
Three celebrities – Hugh Bonneville, John Thompson and Melanie Sykes – will be partnered with members of the armed forces to raise money for the navy, army and air force benevolent funds.<\/p>\n
Downton Abbey star Bonneville will play with Lieutenant Gary Beels, a submarine engineer in the Royal Navy, Sykes is taking part beside Major Nicola McCullough – an Army medic – and Thompson is paired with Seargent Derek Holland from the Royal Air Force.<\/p>\n
"I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun on the night and hopefully we'll raise some much-needed money for the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity," said Bonneville.<\/p>\n
The episode will be hosted by Chris Tarrant and is due to air on November 9th, while it means the charities could receive up to £1 million each, depending on the knowledge of the participants.<\/p>\n
