Man distraught as Leeds Council topples gravestones at Wortley Cemetery over 'risk to the public'

Steven Osborne regularly visits Wortley Cemetery to pay his respects to his grandmother, who worked in a munitions factory, and grandfather, who served in the forces.

But the 53-year-old said he was deeply upset to see gravestones laid down - around 50 in his estimation - on the ground and the Oldfield Lane graveyard looking "like a bombsite".

Steven, who now lives in Calverley, but grew up around Wortley, said he felt sad for the dead who were part of a community he knew and loved.
