Julia Kenny at Central Section.
During her recent visit to the Southern Necropolis, Julia was delighted to be taken to one of the lairs of her ancestors, and as luck would have it, a headstone was standing proud in place.

Respect at the Franciscan Circle
Nice to see on a recent visit that there is still a sense of respect from visitors leaving flowers and candles at the Franciscan re-interment site.
