Emma Fox, of Manchester Guided Tours, will lead people around the cemetery visiting the graves of some of Manchester's most notable residents.

Opened in 1879 Southern Cemetery is the largest municipal cemetery in the UK, and the second largest in Europe. Many renowned Mancunians are buried in the cemetery, including British aviator John Alcock (who made history with the first non-stop transatlantic flight in 1919) and Manchester's first multi-millionaire, industrialist and philanthropist John Rylands.

The cemetery also provides the final resting place for football legends Sir Matt Busby and Billy Meredith as well as 'Mr Manchester' himself, Tony Wilson, whose grave is marked with a headstone designed by Peter Saville and Ben Kelly.
