London's Cemetery For Heroic Animals

In Ilford, east London, there's a remarkable cemetery, where some of the country's most heroic animals are buried.
From pigeons who carried wartime messages, to terrorist-thwarting dogs, join us as we meet some of these medal-winning creatures who laid down their lives for humans.
You can find out more about the cemetery here: www.pdsa.org.u...

Ah, Able Seacat Simon - hero of the Yangtse Incident... When my dad worked in the Navy, one of his duties was to once a year go in dress uniform to Simon's grave, place flowers down and then salute it

In response to Emily not hearing about other pet cemeteries. One of the oldest is in Hyde Park open around 1880 but is now closed.
