A TEENAGE musician has performed the ballad he wrote in memory of his mother in front of Franz Ferdinand. Elaine Parry and her partner Tony Baker were killed in September when their light aircraft crashed in the New Forest. Elaine's son Dominic, 15, penned
Allyn Joslyn's voice was heard over a 40-year spell on American radio. Born in Milford, Pennsylvania, and the son of a mining engineer, Joslyn first worked as an office boy. His stage debut was at 17 on Broadway and his Hollywood screen debut was in 1937
I would like to make a correction to the article on the Remembrance Parade in Brighton (The Argus, November 14). Kathy O'Keefe is a member of Brighton Sea Cadets - not the Nautical Training Corps. -Maureen Copelin, Brighton
Can we hope that the campaign to keep pavements clear for pedestrians will extend to the south of Portslade Station (The Argus, November 12)? It appears that the shops on the west side have a legal right to put street furniture in front of their premises
Nick Nurse is facing a lengthy lay-off as coach of Genesis Brighton Bears. Nurse needs surgery to remove a cyst from his right vocal chord and is likely to be out of action for a month or more. He will not be able to speak for two or three weeks after
Adam El-Abd insisted today he has no fears about facing Crystal Palace's powerful strike force. Albion's fiercest enemies are without the injured Andy Johnson again for tomorrow's showdown at Withdean. They still have an international strike pairing in
Albion manager Mark McGhee warned derby rivals Crystal Palace today: "You won't outmuscle us." The Seagulls were eventually overpowered at Stoke in their last Championship fixture a fortnight ago. McGhee is expecting a different sort of challenge at Withdean
Leslie Claride (Letters, November 14) criticises Brighton for having too much traffic and expensive parking compared to Crawley, where she prefers to shop. It is always strange to hear motorists complain about traffic because this means there are too
Two months ago, I started doing my bit to clean up Brighton's streets of unwanted litter, such as all the rubber bands that are dropped by postal workers. On my travels I find about 20 per day, which I am now using to make a rubber band ball. It grows
I wish to publicly express my appreciation to all my Royal British Legion colleagues who helped make the Remembrance Day Service at Hove War Memorial and Hove Parish Church such a success. Honoured by the presence of the Mayor and Mayoress of Brighton

A MAN abandoned as a baby at an airport 19 years ago is making a public appeal for his parents to come forward. Steve Hydes, dubbed "Gatwick Gary" by the media when he turned up at the Sussex airport's South Terminal, does not even know what country he
How can I endorse the views of Ray Tilban (Letters, November 12)? Let's hope Brighton and Hove City Council has a change of heart, as did Dickens' Scrooge - God bless us, everyone! -Kay M Smith, Hove
BUS passengers will face a hike in fares for the second time in less than a year. Tickets will rise by 10p for single fares and 20p more for returns in zones run by Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company. The company, which runs most services in and
THIS is failed Sussex producer Rob Kennedy who left behind a trail of debts and a string of angry actors when his play collapsed. Creditors, owed thousands of pounds, have been unable to find him but The Argus this week tracked Mr Kennedy to a side street
FIVE members of a gang dubbed the Sainsbury's Firm have been jailed for a total of 40 years - for robbing the supermarket 45 times. At the height of their year-long reign of terror last October the masked raiders stormed the store in Lewes Road, Brighton
Rather than increase school run traffic, as Sue Young fears (The Argus, November 15), I suspect that using the distance of students' homes from The Level, Brighton, as a factor in deciding whether they can get into Dorothy Stringer School may actually
Thank you for the opportunity to express my concern about the introduction of discriminatory legislation towards vehicles using Rights of Way across the UK (Letters, November 11). Unfortunately, your sub-editor made the classic mistake of referring to
I was amazed to read the contrasting sentences given to two Sussex men convicted of violence (The Argus, November 10). A parent of a bullied child was given a 17-month jail sentence for assaulting two teachers, while a young man was given 12 months for
I was under the impression that Lewes District Council and Norman Baker had decided to accept the findings of the Falmer/East Brighton Stadium public enquiry. Was this only if they received a favourable decision? I now see they are considering a judicial
