BEREAVED parents, family and friends are all welcome to this year's candlelight service at St Elphin's Church on Monday.

The annual event has been providing comfort to those who have lost a child for 21 years.

A spokesman added: "We understand how difficult it can be approaching the festive season without someone we love.

"Our service provides an opportunity to remember your child/children by lighting a candle in their memory and writing a message for them to put on our tree."

The service starts at 7.30pm and there will be tea or coffee and minced pies after the service.
