THANK you for printing my views on the date of the millennium (Letters, November 26).
You will now know that the year 1900 was indeed the last year of its own 19th century.
An interesting point here arises. If Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother joins us in the millennium celebrations on January 1, 2001, she will be the first member of the royal family to have been alive in three separate centuries - she was born on August 4, 1900.
