Tower Hamlets Cemetery, London, E3

I visited Tower Hamlets Cemetery in March 2009, & it was certainly one of the strangest ones I've been to. For it is now actually a park, and not called a cemetery, I'm guessing it's no longer used for burials.
The headstones have been completely left to nature, and I it's a long time since I have seen so many naturally damaged ones together. But, bizarrely, it doesn't look half as bad as it sounds...as you can see now:

Willebroek Cemetery; Willebroek, Belgium

I'm not sure of the exact name of this small cemetery, I walked around it at the end of February 2009. I was actually in the vicinity to visit Fort Breendonk, & this happened to be adjacent.



Just outside these entrance gates was the War Memorial:











We now go through the gates, to the main military plot, then around the general cemetery:
