Very tongue in cheek, what about the local tv channel?  ;D

Sorry I have had a funny old day today, when I got up this morning I had no idea this was all going to happen.

Morning all, where are you? I've got exciting news to share and no-one's around to hear  :o

Im so excited for you all, I've just received this  ;D ;D


Morning Dawn,
Robert Stead is indeed buried in the churchyard at St Peters.
Details are as your email in the burial register but the headstone on the
grave has fallen forward and cant be read.It is a large stone and I would
at sometime like to turn it over to read the inscription.
Regards,
Graham


Are there any volunteers to help turn it over ??  Would love to be there but London to Liverpool and back is not do-able during school hours.


Dawn

Can you give me a rough idea where the grave lies
So I can take a look at how the headstone is postioned

   41 branches of the Royal British Legion in West Lancs so we may be able to get advice or help from them.

  The local TV would be a good idea all BBC local stations run feel good stories as I said before. I sent 2 e-mails to the Post and got nothing on running the story.

This is just great news I have been following this thread from the start
I am looking forward to seeing some pictures of the headstone

How many of look for graves and headstone and don't find them and maybe we pass them unturned

As well as or instead of the British Legion what about the South Lancashire Regiment?

 I think thats where the 6th Rifles, Kings Liverpool Regiment merged with.

They must have some strapping lads  :o

I'm at home tomorrow if you would like some phone calls made, but if anyone else wants to step forward, please feel free.
