A 'SERVICE of memories' takes place at Keighley Shared Church on Sunday (December 4).

Invitations have been sent to families for whom clergy in the parish have taken funerals over the past couple of years, but anyone is welcome to attend the service – which starts at 4pm.

The Rev Dr Tracey Raistrick says: "As part of the service we will screen a presentation that will include the names of those we know have died over the last two years, and there will be a space to light a candle in your loved one’s memory."

Canon Mike Cansdale, the rector of Keighley, said: "Christmas can be a difficult time for people who have lost a loved one and so we are making space to remember, pray and receive comfort from God."
