She had wanted to visit a cemetery for a long time

A six-year-old from Nuneaton has been making a difference this Christmas by laying flowers on abandoned graves.
Frankie Breeds went to her local cemetery on Boxing Day and placed foam roses on the headstones that were empty.
Her mum, Melissa, said Frankie wanted to do something to remember the people by at Christmas time, especially for the children's graves which seemed to have no flowers.
Melissa said: "Frankie had been mentioning to me for a while that she would like to go to a cemetery.
"So on Boxing Day she went round and noticed a lot of the graves had no flowers, so she decided she wanted to lay something for them.
"Frankie laid foam roses on each of the graves that had nothing, to show each one has been remembered."
Melissa explains that the family moved to Nuneaton in August from Brighton.
She continued: "She found one child grave of somebody who died on her birthday.
"It was bare and had no flowers. So she decided to adopt it as her own.
"She put a little light up box on that one."
Frankie hopes she can go back and lay more flowers in the future.
