A man in Edinburgh found his family's lost grave in an old cemetery in a moving moment.
The anonymous man was overcome with emotion after he found the gravestone in Warriston Crematorium after people at Mortonhall Bereavement Services helped him find it.
He could be seen holding the headstone in a moving moment of sadness and happiness.
Volunteers who tend to the cemetery spotted him looking around with a map on his phone. He seemed a bit lost, so they helped him look for the grave, which was in a hidden part of the cemetery.
secretary of Friends of Wariston Crematorium Caroline Gerard told Edinburgh Live: "A couple of weeks earlier, I'd spotted an interesting gravestone in an area where we haven't done much work as yet."
"I knew that it would be of particular interest to my colleague Sheila, so I'd taken her there to see it last Saturday morning. Nearby we spotted this gentleman looking around, in such a way that suggested he was searching for a specific grave."
"We stopped to enquire. He told us that he'd been in touch with Bereavement Services at Mortonhall and that an efficient and helpful member of staff had provided details, plus a map showing the grave's location."
"He had the map on his mobile phone. I took one look at it and could tell him that he was searching in the wrong area."
She continued: "We took him to the correct area and advised him to start looking along a particular row of gravestones, then he found it quickly. It was a very happy chance encounter."
"I forget who is the relative, alas. It might be his grandfather or great-grandfather. Some of the people commemorated died in the 1890s."
"When he found his family grave, he was so overcome with emotion that he clutched the stone."
Ten years ago, The Friends of Warriston Graveyard group took over looking after the site with the permission of Edinburgh Council to make it a more welcoming experience for relatives looking for their loved ones' graves.
Caroline explained: "Previously some parts of the cemetery were so overgrown that it was daunting to enter them."
"There was also a fair amount of 'anti-social behaviour.' Slowly but surely we are transforming it into an enchanting semi-woodland setting, tucked away in the middle of Inverleith."
She added: "We met the gentleman in the photograph by chance, and it was a pleasure to guide him to the correct area so that he could find his family's gravestone."
"We don't often get such an immediate and obvious result of our work. I'm told, though, that he does not wish to be interviewed or to have his identity revealed."
"Sheila posted the photograph with his consent on our Facebook page and our Twitter account, and we have been astonished by the reaction to it," she said.

This isn't the first time the group has helped someone find a headstone at the cemetery. Caroline said: "We receive enquiries from all around the world, and when we can, we send a photograph or two."
"Sometimes this means clearing a gravestone first! ".
The Friends of Warriston Cemetery was started in July 2013 after a meeting about looking after this special place.
