We had to curtail the over-ambitious plans to walk through and litter-pick all 3 of Portsmouth's cemeteries.

So the Triple became a very respectable Double.

The litter problem in Kingston cemetery was primarily caused by the inadvertent littering in memory of the deceased - countless plastic flowers, baubles, sachets of flower-food and ribbons spread across the cemetery by the wind.

By contrast Highland cemetery was a hidden oasis of calm and forgotten nature.

Milton cemetery will have to wait til another day.
