See also http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6478545 One of a series of pictures depicting wild flowers in Carlton Cemetery. The management of the as yet undeveloped section of the cemetery allows a number of traditional meadow flowers to flourish. A slideshow of these flowers can be seen here http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=114777222 The hoverfly is almost certainly a Thick-legged hoverfly (Syritta pipiens). My thanks to fellow Geograph member Richard Sutcliffe for identifying it for me.
