Sir, – I’m sure that when the tech boffins analyse the word “Queen”, they will find it used millions of times in print and social media over the past two weeks. However, when I look back at my childhood, even before Elizabeth became the British queen, we kids had a ball game out in the street, whereby one kid threw a ball over their shoulder into a group of others and then turned around while the group chanted, “Queenie aye oh, who has the ball?”
Well, we now know that the ball is in Charles’s court. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – I would like to commend RTÉ on its inspired decision to bring us live pictures of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. If it wasn’t also shown live on RTÉ News, BBC1, BBC2, ITV, and Sky, I’d have completely missed it. – Yours, etc,
