I READ with interest the information (Letters, December 31) about the giant's grave in Blackburn Cemetery.
My late mother lived in Blackburn many years ago and told us tales of the giant, Fred Kempster and how he used to push a penny through his ring in a little sideshow. She also watched his funeral and told us how the coffin was so long it stuck out from the back of the hearse.
She once took us as children to visit the grave and I have tried to find it to show my grandchildren.
