Sir, – Given Sinn Féin’s oft proclaimed inability to recognise British monarchs, it might be helpful to Michelle O’Neill to point out that the king is the one getting a crown placed on his head by an archbishop. – Yours, etc,

Ann Ingle: Deliberately going out of my way to move for no particular reason has never appealed to me
Gerry Thornley: How about an alternative look at Ireland’s Six Nations win over England?
Is Ireland anti-Semitic, an outlier of tolerance or in the middle ground?
How risky is it to buy a second-hand EV?
Sir, – It’s great that so close to the coronation, the King will be in Nowlan Park this Sunday! (“King Henry’s return part of pageantry around ‘massive’ Nowlan Park match”, Sport, April 28th). – Yours, etc,
MARY FOGARTY,

Co Dublin.
Sir, – I’m not a supporter of Sinn Féin but fair dues to Michelle O’Neill and Alex Maskey for accepting the invitation to attend the coronation of King Charles III and for their well-chosen words about reconciliation.
It’s hard to upstage the Duchess of Sussex, but Sinn Féin sure has! – Yours, etc,

Sir, – I agree with Finn McRedmond entirely (Opinion & Analysis, April 27th); as a race we English are somewhat guilty of hiding our light under a bushel.
We do lay claim to the Last Night of the Proms every September, however.
It’s fun, it’s inclusive, and it celebrates the best of music from around the world, and it’s viewed by 10 million viewers in 20 countries.
As for the event in London on May 6th , the last one took place when I was 14 months old, and we couldn’t afford a telly. So, at 71, taking into account the fact that at present rates I’ll be aged over 140 next time round (if at all), I don’t want to take any chances.
I’ll be tuning in, and I’m guessing that many of you will too. – Is mise,
PETER ROBINSON,
