SIR - It is gratifying to read the many accolades bestowed on Councillor Stanley King for his long and tireless service to Bradford.

I speak from experience of his wisdom and support whenever asked to attend to our concerns in the past. He could always be relied on to try his best to sort out any problems. We wish him a happy and well-deserved retirement and suggest he should be put forward for a knighthood.

Mrs Veronika Davis, Selbourne Terrace, Heaton
