Letter: Monuments fit for a princess

Sir: One way of both modernising Britain's image in line with the Demos report and providing a permanent memorial to the Princess of Wales would be to adopt "I Vow to Thee My Country" as the national anthem.

This would substitute a moving piece of music by a British composer for the current dreary dirge, and would act as a sign that the people of Britain have grown from being servile subjects into a confident nation of citizens.
