Angel Watches Over Child's Grave

I was struck by the quiet serenity of this young child's grave in the Roman Catholic cemetery in Bath today. An angel can can be seen atop the the gravestone, watching over this young child's grave in perpituity. At the foot of the grave, a small toy is perched in company for young Sienna. I found the whole scene very, very moving and am still affected by my visit.

A weathered Toy stands sentinel on a young child's grave

Owen Phillips (Magic Lantern Show) recently provided me a link to a couple of photographs on another blog of mouldering children's soft toys decaying on a grave. I found a soft toy weathering slowly on a child's grave, today. I am not sure what exactly it is, but it is a very striking image.
