The Purbook-based hospice held its beautiful Lake of Lights service at Canoe Lake on Sunday, December 14 in what has become a tradition at Christmas to provide anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one the chance to remember them.
Guests were invited to make a donation for a candle which was then floated on the lake.
