Caring for old friends

As Rosalie Brimmer lays flowers on the grave of a school teacher she used to know back in the 1980s, she talks about the good memories that she revisits when she visits the graves of old friends and the peace and comfort she receives when she visits family at the Moorcroft cemetery.

She also puts flowers on the graves of those who no longer have relatives or friends in the area, "so they look cared for". This is a task she has taken to hand for around the last 15 years. "More people should do this," she says.
