Pattern attribute not working in lightning:input

Hi ,
I am using lightning:input of type text and want no special chars to be entered. Some posts say that we can use built-in pattern  attribute but its not working  for me.No idea what is missing .

<lightning:input  aura:id="BiCity"
                          label="Residential City" value=""  required="true"                                  messageWhenPatternMismatch="No special characters allowed"
                          pattern="[a-zA-Z]"
/>

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Your code should work, it gives you the error if entering number or special chars.
I guess you problem is you found the value with special chars is still saved.
If that is the case, you may need to add checkValidity() method in js controller before saving.
