Here are some photos I took last Saturday at What Dreams May Come - London Dreamtime’s evening among the tombs, coffins and mosaics of the Greek Corner of West Norwood Cemetery. It was an event to celebrate the living and the dead with music, story-telling, poetry, theatre and art.

West Norwood Cemetery is one of London's Magnificent Seven cemeteries and is in West Norwood, London SE27 9JU.
