Sir – I was one of the civilian re-enactors from the English Civil War Society in the Castle Gardens, Wallingford, on the weekend of June 27 and 28 and I would like to thank the people of Wallingford.

We had a wonderful weekend with huge numbers of people coming to see us, to talk to us and to ask some extremely interesting questions.

From what I heard from my military friends, they also had great crowds watching the battles. As you can imagine, it takes a great deal of effort to organise an event like that so it’s always a pleasure to see such appreciative crowds. Thank you Wallingford.
