Residents are being invited to a special memorial service in the chapel of Bishopthorpe Crematorium this weekend.

The annual service looks to bring comfort and remember and celebrate the lives of loved ones.

This year it will take place on Sunday 8 December at 12.30pm and will last for around 30 minutes.

The service has been held at the crematorium for the past 15 years and this non-religious ceremony is open to everyone. It will be led by the crematorium chaplain, The Revd. Allan Hughes.

Names of loved ones will be read out and remembered.
