You must be delighted, Eli2. Please don't worry, your English is excellent.

What an amazing grave as well, either he left money for it to be erected or his friends must have thought a lot of him. Can I just ask, Retriever, did you put the flowers there? If not, there must still be people who remember him and keep the grave tidy.

I'm much more than delighted. There were tears when I showed photos to my father...

You are very welcome eli2, I am glad I could help. It is a very big cemetery so I couldn't have found it without the plot number.

The grave isn't in the Catholic section, which is where I expected it to be. The flowers are artificial poinsettias so must have been put there at Christmas time.

I don't know if the funeral service was at St Mary, Luton or Dunstable but either way there are pictures on Google .

The grave looks in very good condition except some of the lead lettering has come away. The cemetery itself is very well kept and looks very nice at the moment with lots of spring flowers and bulbs.

Bye

Sorry, there don't seem to be any photos online of old St Mary church, Dunstable, only the present one opened in 1964 so too late.

Also I see I've typed 6th, should of course be 5th.
