Just a quick message to let you know the service when extremely well. I'm not in a position to post the photo's of the event, but will do so when I get back home. I have a few problems with videoing, but has luck had it, I met up with Sgt Andy Tunnicliffe GMP who will hopefully be joining the forum. Andy will be letting us have photo's and video footage so save the day. I was also lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time and was able to video the blessing of "JOHN LYONS" headstone with forum member Colin Fielding and Andy in attendance. A good day was had by all. And its good to see we hit the 500 member mark. Well done to everyone for making the forum what it is today.

Looks like a good day. It's great than these organisers take time to remember their hero's. Hopefully their memory will live forever. Well done to Sgt Andy Tunnicliffe for organising the event. I sure it will be remembered in Manchester for years to come. The new plaques are spectacular and no doubt a great asset to the cemetery.
