Inspirational fundraisers take part in the Rowans Hospice Shining Stars Walk in memory of loved ones

Inspirational fundraisers took to the streets of Portsmouth at dusk yesterday as they set out on a walk in memory of loved ones.

Participants gathered at HMS Temeraire on Saturday, September 20 to embark on Rowans Hospice Shining Stars Walk that would take in the Spinnaker Tower and HMS Warrior at twilight.

The Historic Dockyard opened its doors, inviting all participants to visit HMS Warrior and to light a candle and take a few moments of reflection, and remember their loved ones on the deck of the ship.

It was an emotional and inspirational evening with fundraisers taking part in either four or eight mile walks with many displaying the names of the loved ones they walking in honour of.
