Sig,-Mr. Stuart Hood's sensitive and generous appreciation of Richard Dimbleby must have given pleasure to very many people, and one hopes that all the tributes to him have afforded his family some comfort. But it seems a great shame that Mr. Dimbleby was not listed in the New Year Honours. for he surely deserved a knighthood. Had he been thus honoured, he would undoubtedly have known

about it some weeks before his death and the know- ledge would have pleased him.
