AS a pensioner who has always lived in York, and anticipating you may get complaints about the rear view of a naked lady in the Evening Press (February 10),

I say that it is about time such photos were in your paper.

I admire this apparent move towards a more modern and liberal attitude to nudity, and away from the religious Victorian prudery of earlier times.

I am an atheist and enjoy the naked body - I see nothing to be ashamed of in this.

If some people think there is, I ask them to explain why, without reference to a 'bible' many do not believe in, and which is largely without proof or evidence?

Please publish more pictures such as this.
