SIR – In a few days we will be honouring those who fell during the two world wars. I lived through the last war and had relatives who fought in both.

I, therefore, consider it a total anathema that the country we fought now rules Europe, unlike Hitler, without firing a single shot.

How did we let this happen? Under the present circumstances I think it would be more prudent if David Cameron did NOT attend this year’s memorial service, but then politicians have more faces than a Rubik cube.
