QR–Cure–Quizzing Realms–434

Should be interesting.

why

The woman seen here is paying a floral tribute at the grave whose headstone commemorates a man who died in 1806 at the age of 72. It also commemorates his son, named after him, who was a captain in the army and died in Trinidad at the young age of 26, also in 1802.

After having been neglected for around two centuries, these graves in Edinburgh, England Scotland, have suddenly become the centre of attraction in recent times, with a lot of people in a certain literary demographic.

My question is which literary demographic, and who does the headstone commemorate?

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

Four answers, and all correct! The tombstone indeed commemorates a certain Mr Thomas Riddell, whose name served as the inspiration for the nomenclature of Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter series!
