Rene Henry emails: "In July 1961 and 1962 I went to Brighton to stay with a family living in Hollingbury to improve my English.

I had a girlfriend, Hillary, living in the area (somewhere near the beginning of Larkfield Way, on the left when you're coming from Carden Hill).

"Since that time I've been to the UK many times but I've never had the opportunity to go again to Brighton.

So I thought I would visit for a couple of days this summer and it would be nice if I could have a chat with the lady I met 45 years ago, if she's still living in the area.

"So I would like to invite Hillary to send me an email or a letter if she doesn't mind meeting me after such a long time."
