Stoke Sentinel: Former RAF bandsman who once played for The Queen, says next door’s horrible garden is dragging down his property values

He should get Her Majesty to return the favour. One trumpet voluntary = one royal intervention on Stoke-on-Trent property prices. It’s only fair, I read it in Magna Carta.
