ON Monday Jan 30 Robert Readman invited us to support building a new boat for the Royal family.
Well Bob, you can call me a curmudgeon!
I believe a much more fitting memorial would be for the Queen to follow in the footsteps of Bill and Melissa Gates and put half of her personal fortune of some £300million into a charitable trust.
All the charities benefiting from it could then display the Royal ‘R’ prefix. This would be an excellent way for Her Majesty to say ‘thank you’ to her tax-paying subjects who have kept her and her large family in the manner one has become accustomed to for 60 years.
