WHAT is going to be left of old England? Brussels is trying to rule us.

We lost our £.s.d. English money, now the next change will be euros and our Lancashire Rose is in some dispute.

I am proud to be British. I served as a teenager in the Women's Land Army during the war and I am proud of that, so who wants to be ruled by foreigners?

We are being asked whether we should celebrate the Queen's Golden Jubilee. Of course, we should.

Royalty IS England and has always been. Give the schoolchildren a souvenir of the Jubilee like we got as children to celebrate royal occasions and let them be proud of our British Empire.

Let's hope there will always be an England to be proud of.
