As I read of the opening of the Fire Brigade headquarters in Eastbourne (The Argus, September 27), I recalled each royal visit costs on average £14,000.
The Duke of Gloucester is the Queen's cousin so is well qualified to grasp a piece of string and pull it.
The cost of his visit would be better spent on firemen's wages.
