I know its morbid looking at graves but that cemetery Yesterday was amazing...some of those graves were huge...loads of famous people are buried there.

When I was growing up my uncle would always have an opera singer on in his house,named Richard Tauber.I stopped for a breather and looked down and I was standing next to his grave.

Yeah, it was a shame it seemed fairly poorly looked after though. The buildings in there seemed neglected and the overall state of the cemetery was pretty grim. Saying that, maybe comparing it to the Allied cemeteries in Normandy is a bit unfair!

Take the enterance at Michaelston Rd, opposite the Cavalier [?] pub, walk straight about 100 meters & its just off the main path, on your right.
I found it by accident, there was some City memrobilia on it.
