In the churchyard at St Cuthbert's in Lytham there are both memorials and also gravestones. The photos are below. Somewhat
disappointing that the graves have the little Remembrance Day crosses
and the memorials do not. Perhaps the memorials are not so obvious. But its nice
that people remember anyway. Hopefully I can derive links from some of
them. Some will cross reference onto the main memorial in Lytham at Hastings Place and at St Cuthbert's.
