UK adults reveal life's most cherished moments A new poll revealed some of the most unmissable life moments (Image: Simon Jacobs/PinPep/Samsung) This research was commissioned by Samsung to mark the launch of its large-screen optimised Galaxy Z Fold7 phone. To celebrate this, it has also released a poem called 'Life Unfolds Fast', narrated by Martin Kemp and penned by poet Georgie Jones. The poem explores the milestones that shape our lives, while the film features intimate moments from Martin's family life and real-life footage from people of different ages, backgrounds, and identities. Martin Kemp said: 'Some of my life's greatest memories are those simple moments at home - playing with my kids in the garden, holding Harley and Roman as babies, and singing with my wife in the car. 'These are moments that truly define our lives. 'Sharing these personal glimpses allows people to see how small, intimate moments become the big memories we want to go back to over again.' The research found that the majority (85%) regularly revisit cherished memories on their phones to reflect on special moments. In fact, around 60% of people value their digital memories just as much as physical keepsakes. But almost half (49%) worry about forgetting important life events, with 46% saying their main concern is losing memories involving loved ones. For 41%, they take photos and videos to hold on to their most treasured experiences, while 49% admit they feel stressed when their phone storage runs low. On average, Brits rewatch key memories on their phones four times a month, and 12% estimate they have more than 10 hours of footage stored. Annika Bizon, from Samsung, said: 'Our research shows that over 40 per cent of us take photos and videos for the sole purpose to not forget our best memories. 'It allows you to capture and revisit the memories you never want to forget, feeling their warmth and emotion time and time again.' These moments include holding your newborn for the first time (Image: Simon Jacobs/PinPep/Samsung) See the top 25 most unforgettable life moments These are the top 25 most unforgettable moments in the life of the average British person. 1.
