Why print such a huge photograph of Gloria Hunniford obviously in the throes of grief at the untimely funeral of her daughter (The Argus, April 21)?

It surely must be taken as read how much we all sympathise with her. Is it sensitive reporting to gatecrash in such a crass way on a mother's grief? The funeral could have been reported without the close-up of a distraught mother.

Newspapers and journalists are turning us into a nation of peeping Toms, stripping away the dignity and the right to a private life of anyone who has been, is or will become a "celebrity".

Is this what readers really want from their local paper?
