Sir, - It may be unrealistic - but I would like to suggest that the two sides in Drumcree might try to agree to march together, four abreast (two from each side), in equal and vast numbers to Drumcree Church and back through the Garvaghy Road. There should be no swords, no banners, no flags, no Lambeg Drums. Let there be plenty of hard hats, collarettes and green favours. Imagine the joy - and use - of marching to Ulster airs, as against a hateful encounter beneath a Christian Church
Some beginnings must be made in banishing mistrust and living in a civilised way with one another. - Yours, etc., John O'Meara
