SIR – My mother’s wedding was both green and economical (Letters, June 3). She married in 1945, just after my father was demobbed, and made a rather impressive dress – complete with train – out of my father’s now redundant parachute. My father wore his RAF uniform, because he had no other suit. I can remember the parachute-silk petticoats my mother and I wore for many years afterwards, which she made from the dress and its remnants.

Letters: The reality of what British soldiers went through during the Troubles

Veterans and supporters in Belfast Credit: CLODAGH KILCOYNE/REUTERS SIR – Amid the anger over the collapse of charges against ex-soldiers, please remember Staff Sergeant Malcolm Banks, Royal Engineers, acting as infantry. In 1972, reacting to a blast bomb incident near the Short Strand, east Belfast, he rapidly arrived on the scene with his men, two minutes before the IRA ceasefire was to begin at midnight. He was killed: shot in the back. No follow-up by his men, sent to protect the public, could therefore take place, so they carried his body into the hall where he and they were stationed – in St James’s church – and laid him down. Like them and the church, he was a Catholic.
