Oliver Dowden describes Armistice Day ceremonies as “a solemn remembrance of the sacrifice of previous generations and upholding our British values” (Dowden reiterates ‘grave concerns’ about pro-Palestine marches on Armistice Day, 5 November). Let’s hope he and his party will solemnly remember that central to the values that our parents and grandparents believed they were fighting and dying for was freedom of belief and expression.

• I do hope that the person pictured on your front page (3 November) running along the seafront at Teignmouth close to battering waves had left instructions that no one should risk their lives trying to save him if he were swept out to sea.
