The view from my "office"

A wander through the cemetary too, one of the Magnificent Seven Cemeteries.

Thanks for that link! I've got a guy in Tower Hamlets which I've checked out, but wouldn't mind wandering some of the others.

As a family historian, I've wandered cemeteries and cremation walls from Coolgardie to Dover (Tas) to Aberdeen to Los Angeles. Very exciting when you find a sought-after grave of a rellie, and its in good condition and there are a whole bunch of the family listed.

Best cemeteries are in Russia. Very elaborate headstones, often with other stuff - like a small carved tank for a WW2 general!!

The Daulton one (in terracotta) was quite interesting.

The surprise headstone I discovered in Brighton UK was a ggfather. An elaborate monument with the inscription "This memorial is erected in loving memory of xx_xx xx_xx By numerous friends and admirers in recognition of the services he was always ready to render his less fortunate fellow creatures."

If you are looking for headstones and memorials for Commonwealth soldiers this is a good place to start
