Friday funday

The lighter side of local government

Do you live in London or the South East? Not sure where to take the family this weekend to enjoy the good weather? Sure, you could go to the seaside or one of London's many fine parks, but let me suggest something that promises to be both fun and educational.

Open day at the Lambeth Cemetery - this Sunday the 16th of July from 10:30 am.

Not only will there be an exhibition of green coffins for the environmentally conscious, but there will be demonstrations of grave preparation and stone masonry.

Did I mention the rides (yes - rides!) and the parade of hearses through the ages? Or the organ music (both popular and classical). Or what might possibly be the world's fastest hearse (200 mph!)?

Kudos to Lambeth Council for bringing a new twist to engagement with users (or should that be non-users?).

I'm dying to go, but sadly, I've already made plans for the day.

fun at the cemetery!
