I read with interest your recent article about the Great British National Strike in Hereford (Crowd gathers for ‘Great British National Strike’, May 29).
Your photograph shows a group of participants holding union flags, presumably with the admirable aim of proclaiming their commitment to the United Kingdom and its citizens.
What are your thoughts?
You can send a letter to the editor to have your say by clicking here.
Letters should not exceed 250 words and local issues take precedence.
Sadly, none of the group seems to have noticed that one of their flags, the largest one in the picture, is upside down! As if this were not enough, in the same edition there is an article about a VE day street party with a lovely photograph showing some ladies holding a union flag in front of a vintage car. Their flag also appears to be upside down!
A union flag flown the wrong way up is often said to be a distress signal. Whether or not that is true, I do hope that no one in your photos was distressed at the time.
