Belgrave Cemetery

Due to the dreadful Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020 and despite bereavement services suspending the Friends of Belgrave Cemetery Leicester from all activities, the committee continued to work from home for the benefit of the cemetery.

Cemetery records were available and members continued to visit their family graves.

Walter Stone died 1st June 1928 and is laid to rest in section B with three family members.
When the lean of his headstone became worse, the Friends, supported by local Councillors, successfully applied for an Abbey Ward grant for the repair of the memorial.

Carved in white Carrera marble in the style of a 6ft scroll and depicting ‘A Life Unfolding’ with the lily as a sign of purity and lead lettering, the work involving a new foundation, was completed in July.

Remembrance Sunday 2020
Although the Friends of Belgrave Cemetery were unable to hold their annual Remembrance Sunday Service in 2020 their poppy wreath was laid at the
War Memorial as a mark of respect to the Brave men and Women of Belgrave who lost their lives in both World Wars.
