On February 18th, an unknown person placed traffic cones on a soldier´s grave inside the churchyard of Saint Helen church in Northwick. The traffic cones have been removed from the grave.

Jordan Lamb said: "I enjoy walking through the church grounds and the people who work and volunteer here are wonderful people, it's just a shame other people don't share the same respect."
