Fuming locals hit out as real ale festival is held in a GRAVEYARD with headstones used as seats and tables
FURIOUS locals hit out after a real ale festival was held in a graveyard — with headstones used as seats and tables.
They blasted the “despicable behaviour” with one saying: “They would be the first to shout if it was kids doing this.”
After pics were posted on Facebook, Laura-Ann Imeson said: “Aren’t we meant to set an example to younger generations?”
Danika Stirling added: “Doesn’t matter how old the graves are, there’s still a body underneath.
"Have some respect.”
Rev Martin Anderson blamed a “small group” and said most attendees were respectful at St Mary the Virgin church in Norton, Teesside.
Organiser David Dodd added: “At no point were chairs put around gravestones by staff and it was certainly not recommended for people to sit on them.
"There will be more chairs and signage at future events.”
