Grave insult: Families slam warning signs

The safety notices were attached to wooden stakes by memorials and headstones deemed to be a risk of collapse at Teddington Cemetery, in south-west London.

Furious mourners visiting loved ones at the Grade II-listed site near Twickenham have labelled them "upsetting" and "offensive".

But Lib Dem-controlled Richmond Council, which erected the signs, says the owners of each grave must pay to make it safe before they are removed.

The warning reads: "Caution memorial is unsafe, do not touch."
