Mr R Reeves, from Brighton, wonders if there is a second Royal Family after reading in our birthdays column that Brooklyn Beckham was four last week.

He says: "Usually only the birthdays of children of the Royal Family, such as Prince Andrew when he was a child, are shown in the columns of newspapers.

"I could understand the birthday of Shirley Temple being included when she was young as she had accomplished something at an early age but Brooklyn hasn't achieved anything yet.

"He is just the offspring of a good footballer and an ex-pop star (England captain David and singer Victoria for those who don't know).

"His birthday should be left to the likes of The Sun and Hello and OK magazines, not put in a respectable newspaper such as yours."

Mr Reeves also points out that we are inconsistent in that we print celebrities, birthdays but only this one "celebrity" child.

"Why not show the birthdays of the children of Madonna for example?" he asks. Why not indeed. What do other readers think?

Bert Hobden, from Brighton, enjoyed Mike Howard's "excellent" review of Calamity Jane at the Congress Theatre, Eastbourne, on Wednesday last week and wanted to see it as a result. Alas, he couldn't because the show had already finished its run.

He complains: "To be of any real value and guidance to theatregoers surely this review should have appeared a week earlier when the show was still running and seats probably available?

"It seems that famous newspaper slogan "hot off the press" no longer applies."

You're quite right, Mr Hobden. We do try shall to make reviews as contemporaneous as possible but obviously failed on this occasion.

Now an apology for my own error last week stating the short-lived Hove Antheum was built in 1933. It should have said 1833, as Averil Older, from Hove, points out.

Brighton and Hove tour guide Glenda Clarke says a letter last Thursday stated Lord Olivier lived at 10 Royal Crescent, Brighton, when in fact it was number 4 (and he later bought number 5, too). Thanks.

The article on Thursday last week about a new exhibition at Newhaven Fort about old soldier Norman Edwards contained errors, says his friend Mike Sanders.

Mr Edwards, who died a year ago, was a staff sergeant, not a sergeant, came from Uckfield, not Seaford, and was a member of the British Expeditionary Force in France, not India. He was evacuated from the beach at Dunkirk.

Apologies for the errors, which were caused by incorrect information supplied to us in good faith.

And finally, Mr R Sharpe, from Brighton, says our article on Tuesday last week about the possible expansion of Gatwick Airport wrongly said it had opened in 1958.

"There was an airport there years before that," he explains. "Even before the war there was a very innovative, though small, circular terminal building built south of the current South Terminal, which was probably opened in 1958.

"The old terminal has probably been demolished but it set a pattern for all terminals since built. It if it is still there, it should be grade 1-listed."

Thanks, Mr Sharpe, and now I must fly.
