Is this disrespectful?

A family has come under fire after they were pictured enjoying a BBQ on what appears to be a tombstone in the grounds of a church.

The bizarre snap was taken in  Otley, Leeds at the weekend, and it has since caused outrage online. 

Peter Howard is the man who snapped the photo and posted it to facebook, in a post he wrote:

"A lovely afternoon spent at the Otley food and drink festival, followed by a meander home through the Parish Church grounds.

"Imagine the surprise to find three adults with about seven children enjoying a barbecue.

"The cooking was being done on the raised tomb stone."

He added that his wife went up to the group to challenge them, but to no avail.

"My wife remonstrated with the men. The 'Chef' patronisingly said 'Thank you for you input, I've taken note.'

"So I took a photograph! Over trots the guy in blue and demands I delete the photographs.

"In any case I was taking photos of him barbecuing on a tomb in sacred ground,”Mr Howard said.

Do you think the family crossed a line by barbecuing here?
