A SPECIAL festive service remembering people who have died is being organised by Bury Hospice.

Light Up A Life will see tags attached to a Christmas tree with special messages in memory of parents, children, relatives and friends.

Candles will be lit and the names of those who have died can be added to a Book of Life, which will be put on display in various locations during December and January.

The service takes place at 7.30pm on Tuesday, December 15, at Close Park, in Dumers Lane, Radcliffe.

Anyone wishing to complete a tag and make a donation to the hospice can contact 0161 797 1748.
