I WISH to express my heartfelt thanks for the kind attention you paid to my request regarding my father, Ted Flatt's 94th birthday. The article you produced (LET, September 29) and the pleasure it brought to my father, combined with the reception and attention he received at Blackburn Rovers football ground, will remain in his memory, hopefully, for as long as he lives.

I am much obliged for the effort given in making his day a memorable occasion.

DEREK FLATT, Hereford Road, Blackburn.
