GARY ANDREWS, Ringwood, Hants. ÷ INTERESTING to read the revelations about the wartime activities of Christopher Lee and Patrick Moore (Mail). They appear to have been based mainly in Cairo as members of the Short Range Gezira Group, the Gezira Club being the main Cairo watering hole.

TIM TOPPS, Headington, Oxon. ÷ PERHAPS Boris should take his water cannon to Calais and deploy them there.

H. WILLIAMS, Cardiff. ÷ IT WAS no ‘Nazi funeral’ Prince Philip attended in Darmstadt in 1937. It was the funeral of Georg Donatus, son of former Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig, whose whole family were killed in an air crash near Ostend on their way to a wedding with the British Royal Family.

T. RUMBLE, Saffron Walden, Essex. ÷ BEFORE George Osborne sells off state-owned land in England (Mail), let’s hope he looks at what happened in Wales, where the land sold off was undervalued and cost the taxpayer £20million.

AUBREY REED, Ebbw Vale, Gwent. ÷ PRESIDENT Hollande has called for the Eurozone to have its own full-time president (Mail). Great idea — Sepp Blatter should be available soon.
