"A truly stunning example of 19th century cemetery architecture", "a veritable Who's Who" and, “Victorian Valhalla” are just some of the terms used to describe Highgate.
A notable Canadian, born Donald Smith, who became Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal is interred in a red granite vault in the Eastern Cemetery.
Other are Lt. Colonel William Nassau Kennedy who served with the Nile Voyageurs and seven other military burials with a Canada connection.
Thanks to Glenn Wright for the photo of the Strathcona vault.
