Dear Editor,

It's amazing how the above title makes the reader wonder what the writer must have in mind. Just including the two phrases, "Battle of Britain" and Fun Day" in the same sentence somehow conveys a total lack of respect for those who suffered in those times - my parents certainly suffered. In fact, the two phrases are almost mutually exclusive.

I have raised my voice in complaint, but was told that I, ".....was missing the point.....". However, I think it is the organizers who are missing the point of those complaining; they are missing the point totally. I also find that I am in agreement with BobM on this and it is not up to the HCEG to decide what I will and will not enjoy.

As ever yours,

Lazarus

I think both BobM and Lazarus have completely missed the point, what those brave men and women gave their lives for, was our freedom and the ability to live the way we do. Holding a Fun Day with a theme recognising the 40th anniversary of the making of the film is in no way disrespectful, At least it will remind people of the sacrifices that were made. I don't see BobM and Lazarus offering a suitable alternative.
