While a lot of British people, including Lady Mary in Downton Abbey, declared that "chivalry has been lost," an online poll suggested otherwise on Thursday.

According to the poll conducted earlier this month among 2,075 British adults by YouGov, an international internet-based market research firm in Britain, the majority of respondents overwhelmingly supported acts showing chivalry.

About 93 percent of men believed that men should open doors for women. The percentage among women was 96 percent.

When asked if they would like men to "carry a woman's bag or suitcase if it looks heavy," 88 percent of the male respondents and 95 percent of the female answered positively.

Some 74 percent of men and 85 percent of women said that a man should offer his seat on a train or bus to a woman, even if she is not pregnant or elderly, while 92 percent of men and 94 percent of women noted that a man should let a woman go first through the door when they are both entering a room.
