Thank you for the inspirational set of photographs of direct action that were published in your Saturday magazine on 2 July. Might I just add the photographer’s name for the picture on page 38 of the Greenham Common protest. It was taken by my brother, Kevin R Harvey, while he was working for the Press Association.

• This was the right feature at the right time, fascinating and beautifully executed – but it was a shame that the iconic image of the miners’ strike used to trail it on the front page of the main section (Orgreave, Yorkshire, 1984, taken by the Guardian photographer Don McPhee) was neither credited there nor referred to in the feature itself.
