Neil Armstrong | KLM | Boris Johnson | Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump | Phoebe Waller-Bridge | Ed Sheeran

Perhaps some of the poignancy identified in Suzanne Moore’s piece (G2, 16 July) can be attributed to the fact that those of us who added Neil Armstrong to our book of explorers as children didn’t expect him to be on the last page, but the first page of a new and much bigger book.

KLM’s policy is surely mistaken (KLM tells breastfeeding women they may be asked to cover up, 18 July). What they should be doing is covering up those who are offended. Put a nice rug over these disturbed people’s heads and they can retreat back into the womb.

Ed Sheeran should be worried. History is not always kind to those who were the subject of giant statues in Moscow (Shape of you, 16 July).
