What great timing to hear of the plans to rebuild the West Pier. Your supplement brought back some memories (The Argus, March 26). I was one of those who watched the pier's final moments as the old lady went up in a riot of orange flames, putting on a show to the last.

Let's hope the developer with a vision to rebuild is given every support to realise its plans.

I sympathise with those who love the skeletal remains that exist now. But it really is time the old lady was given a new lease of life.
