SIR - Wishful thinking, I know, but wouldn't it be nice if the Heritage Lottery money of £33,000 earmarked for the controversial war memorial in Gheluvelt Park could be given instead to the fire ravaged Royal Marsden Hospital?

Don't get me wrong, I am all for a war memorial - just not for the monstrosity proposed.

Rather fight cancer than put a cancer on our landscape!
