PHARMACIST, Horatio Todd, is one of more than 1,000 people whose lives are being commemorated in a new book about a less than lively topic - Belfast's Dundonald Cemetery.
The deceased pharmacist, who reportedly lived his life by the slogan "5,000 prescriptions filled and refilled and not a single mistake" passed away in 1973.
The book's author, Peter McCabe, described Todd as a "quite a character".
"He was a pharmacist and the first president of the Pharmaceutical Society for Northern Ireland," McCabe told the Belfast Telegraph.
"He also had an OBE and was a bird watcher. He did prescriptions for humans but he also did prescriptions for animals, he was a vet prescriber as well.
"And he was always immaculately dressed and always wore a bow tie."
The new book, which is set to accompany McCabe's tours of the 120-year-old graveyard, is not the only sign of Todd's legacy on the community, with a bar and restaurant in the city adopting his name and celebrating his life.
