    Congratulations to the couple on their honour and on the birth of their child. In 1991, in the week of the failed coup against Gorbachov, I was visiting the USSR & Baltic States. I attended a performance of the Estonian National Ballet, which I much enjoyed. A ticket cost around 7 PENCE then - I imagine it costs quite a lot more now!
