Graves and headstones at a Bolton cemetery are submerged in water following heavy rain.
Ducks are now flocking to a large pool that has appeared at Tonge Cemetery in recent days.
The flood-prone grounds have had regular drainage issues due to fluctuating levels of the River Tonge, which runs through the cemetery.
There was flooding a number of times last months as storms battered Greater Manchester.
Council workers' attempts to solve the probelm at the Cemetery Road site have so far failed.
When investigations into the issue were carried out in 2008, the town hall said flooding was caused by saturated ground and the layout of the drainage system.
Older sections of the cemetery are among the worst hit.
Bolton council said 'major works would be required' to fix the problem and, at the time, said it was 'unable to carry them out'.

Instead, floodwater is left to dry out naturally.
Until then, families going to the cemetery face wading through the huge puddles to get to their loved ones' graves.
In the most recent statement on the issue, a Bolton council spokesperson said: "There can be problems in certain older sections of the cemetery during periods of heavy rainfall because the water cannot drain away into the River Tonge due to the rising water level.
"However, the problem does rectify itself once the rain subsides."
There is a chance floodwater could dry over the coming days, with the Met Office forecasting dry spells.
But the cemetery could be hit by showers at the weekend - particularly on Saturday night through to Sunday morning.
The country is currently recovering from the wettest February on record. Three named storms crossed the UK last month.
The Environment Agency says the bad weather could continue into later March, with 40 flood warnings still in place across the country.
