Letter: Poor behaviour at Queen's Cosford visit

We brought our six grandchildren to see the Queen at RAF Cosford. Unfortunately, what should have been an enjoyable day was marred by the disgraceful behaviour of some older members of the public.

They were pushing, shoving and refusing to move an inch even when asked by the security personnel to give a little more space to people around them.

The children had been sitting and waiting patiently playing card games etc for more than three hours before Her Majesty's arrival.

How can we expect the younger generation to respect their elders when they witness this sort of behaviour from them?

There is a lot of emphasis on attitude towards the elderly, but our experience did nothing to help.

The behaviour of all the children at the pageant was excellent and I feel some members of the older generation could take some advice.
