Sir – Mad Hatters’ hats off to the team behind the celebrations marking Alice in Wonderland’s 150th birthday. I couldn’t believe my eyes as I drove through Oxford on Saturday night to be confronted by hundreds of white rabbits happily strolling through the city. The Caucus Race on Sunday with the backdrop of Merton College and Christ Church was one of the most eccentric and magical events I have ever been to. Winners? Well, we all were, of course.
