Guardian of Veterans Graves Has A Welcome Successor

 

Sam guards over veterans graves at Selby Cemetary

Sam, the Veterans Grave Guardian at Selby Cemetary, U.K., has featured in a number of articles on this website. Sam would visit the cemetary with his owner to lay flowers at war veterans graves, including the graves of Odd Bods. 

In December 2022 Sam received the Royal Air Force Long Service and Good Conduct medal at Selby Abbey. Sadly he passed away a few months later, and was laid to rest amongst the war graves. But, there is good news!

Teddy takes on Sam's legacy.

Meet 2 year old Teddy, who will carry on Sam's service in honouring our veterans. A big thank you to Darren Mark Walker who recently updated us on developments at Selby.

We remember the contribution of our war veterans in many ways and this story adds a unique and worthy perspective.
