For someone who has spent 42 years surrounded by death, Bryan Smith is a remarkably cheerful gardener. That might not be surprising, given he has spent more than four decades tending the same 37 acres and has "never really been tempted to leave". Walking Brookwood Military Cemetery's beautiful grounds in his company is a rare pleasure - a mixture of history, humour and horticulture - and it is little wonder his tours are famous in royal circles. "I do tours for the officer cadets at Sandhurst," saysSmith.
