The year that peace broke out in Levisham

sir – Following adverse comments in the wake of last year’s war re-enactment event at Levisham in North Yorkshire, this year’s event has been cancelled.

It is a shame that a few negative remarks can have this result. It has taken 25 years for someone finally to take offence at this atmospheric annual re-enactment.

The large numbers who attend are most certainly offended at its cancellation. However, their views and feelings appear not to matter.

The re-enactment saw Levisham become Le Visham, an occupied French village
