'˜Unnecessary suffering' for widow after poppy taken from grave
Detailing the Victoria Cemetery incident, a PSNI spokesperson said: “At some stage before Remembrance Sunday a metal poppy has been removed from a grave.
“The removal of this item from a clearly marked ex-services grave has caused obvious unnecessary suffering for the family members, especially the widow of the gentleman at rest.

Anyone with information is asked to message the PSNI Carrickfergus Facebook page.
