Dad who buried son three times 'distraught' after seeing grave

A dad said he is "distraught" after his son's grave was left in a mess by council workers.

Stephen Edwards, from Bootle, said that he went to visit his son's grave with his wife Patricia yesterday afternoon. However Stephen was distraught after he found his son's headstone covered in grass which had recently been cut.

Stephen said the "mess" is disrespectful to his son's memory and it happens every year. The dad-of-three claims he has complained to employees at the cemetery but they "keep making excuses".
