Pilgrimage to Tolkien's grave

Since I was passing by Oxford on Saturday with a little time on my hands, I did something I never got round to when I actually lived there and paid my respects at Prof & Mrs Tolkien's grave at Wolvercote. Although it is in most respects quite unremarkable - other than by the inclusion of the names Luthien and Beren, and it being quite such an ordinary tomb for such a remarkable man- it is rendered unusual by the various items left by fans among the plants theat grow on it. I can understand the letters, the "Frodo lives" badge and even (just ) the toy eagle.... but why a toy lamb? Can anyone enlighten me or was it just random?
