        Nice one mucker. That poppy cross will be a surprise for the family. Pleasant one I hope.

            Be who you are and say what you feel...
            Because those that matter, don't mind.

                  Well done PC, anywhere near The Falls was a bad place to be, there 71’, we will not forget them,
                  Spanners do it with their tools.

                    I did have that one mate, but will change it for this one. Obviously, I will remove parts but I think the poppy cross makes it a better one.

                      Crikey they are certainly packed in to that grave, I make it 7, but it doesn't look like there is much upkeep of the plot.
