CAN I through your letters column reiterate the words of Dr David Hill, of the World Innovation Foundation Charity (Letters, January 3).
We are all disgusted that the great Bruce Forsyth did not receive a knighthood in the recent New Year's Honours List.
Bruce has been for decades - and still is - the master of all entertainers and his skilful handling of both participants and critics in the superb Strictly Come Dancing series on BBC1 was a joy to behold.
Bruce is the epitome of great entertainment, and anyone his age would have been ever ready now to retire. The Establishment should recognise its mistake and give him a knighthood now.
Mr B Lawson,
Burton Fields Road,
Stamford Bridge, York.
