Why should the Queen feel snubbed if Brighton and Hove does nothing for her Jubilee?
The letter I received from the palace made it perfectly clear the decision to dump city status on Brighton and Hove had nothing to do with her but with the Home Secretary - who was then Jack Straw - and his cronies.
The only reason we got city status was because Brighton and Hove had become a new Labour stronghold.
Back-door politics. Look where it has got us.
