The Sunday evening event (December 15) gave family and friends the opportunity to dedicate a candle which was then placed on the lake to create a magical ‘Lake of Lights’ whilst reflecting on memories shared with loved ones who are no longer with us.
As well as lighting a candle, those taking part were also able to join a remembrance service led by Spiritual Support Lead, Bryony Wildblood, as well as listen to a band and choir who also performed.
Participants were also invited to make a donation at the fundraising event in air of Rowans Hospice based in Purbrook, Waterlooville.
