Relatives and friends gathered in the grounds of the Fankerton hospice on Tuesday evening for a poignant remembrance service where candles were lit and personal messages were placed on a Christmas tree.
The Light Up A Life campaign celebrates the lives of those who have passed away but continue to live on in people’s hearts.
Irene McKie, chief executive of Strathcarron Hospice said: “We are grateful to everyone who braved the chilly night to attend this year’s Candlelight Service at the Hospice. The service is a time to remember the lives of our loved ones, just before Christmas.
“Everyone enjoys listening to the words from our Chaplain and singing along to the Christmas carols, before tying a note or memory on the Light up a Life Christmas tree. Thank you to Clare and Clare from Strathcarron singers, Dunblane Cathedral Handbell Ringers and all our wonderful volunteers helping on the night.”
