Sir, – Like many, I was tempted to watch the royal funeral which took place in London.
As I sat there observing the crowds, the pageantry, the solemnity and the overflowing sense of belonging and sympathy, I could not help shedding a few tears as it came to my mind that I may well never win the lottery. – Yours, etc,

The mass hysteria imposed by the mainstream media bears no relationship to the feelings of the people in Ireland I have spoken to in the last few days.
I write as a British-born resident of this great country. – Yours, etc,
