I WISH to reply to A.Caws letter (December 27).

How you can criticise The Queen for not travelling on public transport because of a cold is beyond me. 

The Queen is 90 years old and still working, will you be at that age, if you are lucky enough to live to such a grand age? 

She followed doctors advice not to travel this way. 

Also please get your facts right she always spends Christmas at Sandringham Norfolk, not Scotland.
