You're right though - a guided tour would be great because the cemetery is so vast that notable graves could easily be overlooked.<br /><br />I'm sure I'll return before too long.Timothy Belmonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111145260662707575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-749428530639921662010-07-19T22:22:07.201+01:002010-07-19T22:22:07.201+01:00My paternal grandparents are buried there and for ...My paternal grandparents are buried there and for years I've meant to join one of Tom Hartley's tours during the Feile - maybe this year I'll get around to it.

Makes sense to have it in a more prominent location at City Hall, too.<br /><br />Fascinating place, indeed. Abundant obelisks! Clearly a few had elevated opinions of themselves. :-)<br /><br />Perhaps my sincere friends should club together for a grand one to Lord Belmont (to the Right Honourable ... etc...) :-)Timothy Belmonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111145260662707575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-18310812980142853532010-07-19T13:58:00.722+01:002010-07-19T13:58:00.722+01:00It's a fascinating place.

It was considered too vulnerable and can now be seen in the grounds of the city hall, where it was erected recently after refurbishment. Aren't some of the memorials enormous?Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09377477402766591095noreply@blogger.com
