Letters: Le Tour de France is more about big business than national identity

Thanks for a great time at Interceltique
Thank you for the complimentary tickets we received for this year’s Lorient Interceltique festival via Connexion.
We had a great time with the grand parade, soiree folk and the Nuit Interceltique.
The Nuit Interceltique was spectacular with each Celtic nation performing and a grand finale with all the nations and fireworks.
Scotland and Ireland put on a super show with pipe bands and dancers; there was a brass band from Cornwall and a male voice choir (Pendyrus) and harpists from Wales.
As the guest nation, I had hoped there would be more of a focus on Wales but they were the last to perform and sang Welsh and Breton anthems. It was a great atmosphere.
