That was my very first thought. Why hasn't the son been tending to the grave or getting someone to look after it ? How could you let your own Father's tombstone fall into such a state, regardless of whether he was a famous person or not ?.
Well done to the fans indeed but the family need to take a long hard look at themselves, embarrasing.
Okay, feel like I need to answer here. The last time I visited my grandads grave was the day he was buried, I was 10. I haven't and probably won't ever go back, I think he's the only person in my family that actually has a grave and headstone (everyone else has been cremated)....its not something we do. Every time I go to games I get to think about his achievements. The team/club/stadium is his legacy, and his mark is everywhere around that ground. The memories of him, I hope, however distant, will far outlast an engraving.
