SIR – Harold Wilson grows in stature all the time. He would not be the US’s lapdog like former Prime Ministers Tony Blair or Margaret Thatcher were.
He wanted a quiet family funeral on the Isles of Scilly. Mrs T apparently thought that a flypast would be a waste of money; presumably she thought our debt-strapped country shelling out a few million on the rest of her lavish funeral would be money well spent?
Let’s hope we give the US tourists time to arrive to recoup the money.
