Anger After 20 Graves Vandalised In Blaenau Ffestiniog (North Wales) Cimetery

Visitors to Bethesda chapel cemetery in Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd, said they were sickened by the sight of the damage on Saturday morning.

It is the third time some graves have been attacked, and an urgent meeting is being called between the local councils and police to prevent a recurrence.
