Hampshire is preparing for the scariest night of the year.

Ghouls, witches and ghosts are about to hit the streets as we embark on the annual trick or treat celebrations.

But in the midst of Halloween trick-or-treating a group of Polish migrants from Southampton have made a pilgrimage - to a cemetery.

Today in Poland is All Saints Day when it is traditional to visit the graves of loved ones.

This morning a group of Polish migrants put flowers and candles on the common grave of Polish soldiers in Kingston Cemetery in Portsmouth.

They were members of the first Polish community in Britain, who arrived in Portsmouth in February 1834, after having taken part in the November uprising against Tzarist Russian oppression.

While the local authority were not very welcoming, the residents of Portsmouth took it upon themselves to welcome the men into their local community.

Schools, churches and charities supported the men in many ways helping them to rebuild their lives and find their new homes here.

Barbara Storey, of S.O.S.POLONIA, the Southampton Polish Drop-in-Centre, said: “ The new generation of Polish migrants wanted to remember and thank the people of Britain's premier naval port - Portsmouth for the kindness shown and the help given to 212 Polish soldiers years ago. “
