Dear Editor,

Re: Events group risk backlash over fun day 'Battle' stance

Laz, I understand your point totally and can't really understand why others are failing to see the inappropriateness.

WW1, WW2, Falklands, Trade Tower, Iraq War, Battle of Britain, while there is a sense of pride for those servicemen and women who gave and are giving their lives in service of our Country, there is also sadness.

Linking something good to these things if it benefits the community is a great idea. Just some respect and appreciation that none of these events were or are 'fun' would be more appropriate.

I'm sure no-one thinks that the wording was deliberately intended to cause upset or offence - but it has, so in service to the Community why is it not possible to simply re-name the event?

Beany
