"A hero policeman buried in a common grave more than 140 years ago has been honoured at a ceremony in north London. Sgt Robert Grant was awarded the Victoria Cross after saving a wounded soldier during the 1857 Indian mutiny. He joined the Metropolitan Police but died at the age of 30 and was buried in a grave with nine others as his wife could not afford a full funeral."
