THANK you so much for the Queen review in the Evening Times.
I've been a Queen fan for most of my life and I've been a fan of Adam Lambert. I have followed him since American Idol. Ever since AI it has been obvious that Adam is the natural successor to Freddie and that they would get together was pretty inevitable. It's so good seeing Brian and Roger so happy and able to do what they are meant to do after that part of their careers was cut short so abruptly. They had to wait a long time to find him because Freddie was irreplaceable.
Of course filling Freddie's shoes is not a career in itself, fantastic though that is and part of the reason that it works so well and doesn't fall into the realms of imitation is that Adam is his own man and has his own style which fortunately matches and complements Queen and their music brilliantly.

What a moving story about the mum backing organ donor changes after her family have been affected. She is very brave for speaking out and when you think of how many people just one person signing up could potentially help, it is a worthy cause. I wish Mary Moffat and her family the very best.

In response to Rosemary Keery's letter regarding faith schools, the USA separates church and state. It's children are not divided based on colour or creed, yet the country continues to have a long-standing problem with racism and social inclusiveness.
I would contend that divisive attitudes are not the result of schooling, but rather are propagated within the home.

On the anthem subject, God Save the Queen will be the national anthem of the UK for generations. We are still part of it.
As a national song for mainly sporting occasions, Flower of Scotland is nailed on for us, Land of Hope and Glory for England, Land of my Fathers for Wales and Danny Boy for Northern Ireland. All were written by natives of each of the home countries.
