Alan, 75, a retired welder from Forfar, Tayside, said: ‘My phone hasn’t rung for three or four months. I’ve been confused by it all but now I know why nobody has been calling.‘I don’t even want to be buried – I plan to be cremated.’ He declared: ‘I’m still alive’, as he stood beside his headstone and said reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated.Mr Hattel said he had realised something was not right because his social life has been deathly quiet for the past three or four months.

He has also spoken to Angus Council officials and plans to put a cover over the headstone which bears his name. The 75-year-old, who spent 37 years as a welder before retiring, claimed his ex-wife has bought the plot of land and put up the headstone with the intention of them being buried together.‘I’ve never, ever said I wanted to be buried alongside my ex-wife,’ said Mr Hattel, who has two grown-up children with his former spouse.‘To find out you have a gravestone in a cemetery while you are still alive isn’t something that happens every day.
