Emily DavisonRELATIVES of famed women's rights campaigner Emily Davison gathered in Northumberland yesterday to celebrate the conclusion of a 15-year project to restore her final resting place.

Almost 50 members of the extended Davison family travelled from all over the UK and as far afield as Australia to see the restored grave and monument dedicated at a special church service in Morpeth.

The commemoration service in St Mary's Church was followed by the laying of wreaths on the grave, where Longhorsley-born Emily is buried in the family plot.
