A woman in her 70s has been sexually assaulted at a graveyard in broad daylight, police said.

After striking up a conversation with his victim, Merseyside Police said the suspect kissed the woman's face and inappropriately touched her.
The suspect is described as having a local accent and was walking a bulldog-type dog on a red lead at the time.
He was wearing a T-shirt, jeans and trainers, police said.
Det Insp Lisa Ryan said: "This was an extremely alarming incident, which has left the victim... very distressed.
"This was a shocking assault on an elderly victim, however I would like to stress that incidents such as this are unusual."
