Fascinating stories from Ely Cemetery s 170-year history were shared at a post-lockdown open day.
With 16,000 former residents of the city buried there, The Friends of Ely Cemetery held two guided tours to share the stories behind the stones.
For children, there was a nature trail to explore, while a book sale raised money towards the Friends projects.
