IN response to Mr Lowe's letter regarding the Queen's Lancashire Regiment, I would like to advise him that there are no former towns in Lancashire, as he suggest in his letter.
I am surprised that a representative from such a distinguished regiment is unaware that Lancashire never changed in 1974. Also, the administrative county of Greater Manchester was abolished in 1986.
There is an organisation called The Friends of Real Lancashire which can be contacted on 0151 928 2770 or 01706 873663 or on their website: www.forl.co.uk.
With regard to the Regiment, I hope the Government sees sense and allows Lancashire to keep the regiment.
