But if there were some who trampled on others graves and sat on gravestones then as I said I wouldnt condone that. So just to clarfiy, it is not the custom itself that you didnt like, it was just the way it was carried out on this particular show?

To clarify -I have no issue with honouring the dead, I do have issue however in the manner in which they felt it appropriate to walk over other people's graves, music belting out, sitting on other people's departed loved ones headstones, slugging cans of lager/cider - that's what I didn't like. I don't give a rat's arse whether they be travellers, pygmies, goblin or any other section of society fact or fiction - the manner in which they are chosing to 'honour their dead', in a public cemetery, is completely disrespectful.
A graveyard is a place for quiet reflection, not for having loud celebrations and drinking parties. That's what function rooms, hotels, bars etc are for.
