SIR – There are not enough or adequate words to use for Tony Benn, who was a great writer, speaker and outstanding MP. He tried his best to help everyone and change the world for the better.

His death is not only a great loss for his family, the constituency that he helped for years or the country; it is great loss for all human beings since he didn’t see any boundary or country to help needy people. He was a true leader who tried his best to help all the people regardless of their colour, creed, gender or nationalities.
