Thank you for giving us a weekend tradition that brought us together, writes Sabrina Olson My grandad, Laurie Stott, passed away earlier this week aged 95. He was a Yorkshireman and a lifelong reader of the Guardian. For as long as I can remember, the Saturday Quiz was a fixed point in his week. Every Sunday since I was a child (I am now 30) we would sit down over lunch and work through it together. He took it seriously, and would spend hours researching, always determined to “have a proper go”. It became our ritual as a family. The day before he died, he got up and sat at the table for 20 minutes to attempt it one last time. I don’t know when the Saturday Quiz first appeared, but in our family the ritual of completing it together has spanned years and was a small, steadfast bridge between generations. We wanted to say thank you for that.Sabrina OlsonTrafford, Greater Manchester Have an opinion on anything you’ve read in the Guardian today?
