WELL done city council. The flower stall in the precinct is delightful with a pretty overhead canopy. I enjoyed my cup of tea, looking down watching people coming and going with their purchases. It is a good centrepiece and brightens the precinct.
ALAN Kebbell (Letters, June 19) criticised Channel Four for showing the documenentary about the car crash that killed Diana, Princess of Wales. I, and many others in the UK and the world, are interested to find out if it was an accident or murder. Was
