Dad loved Christmas! He was always so generous with his time and with his gifts. He liked to make a real fuss of people.

We remember him every day but especially at this time of year, and raise a glass or two. We all miss him very much xx

Spending the days going round garden centres and going for dinner with my grandad

Emma is our daughter, born 14 June 1988, who stayed with us for just one day. We have taken part in the Light a Light procession every year since, this is her part of Christmas.

Tilly is our first grandchild, born March 2020, whom we have not been able to meet and cuddle yet due to the COVID Pandemic and travel restrictions across the World. Instead of being able to show her the Christmas Tree in person, to have her own light shining on it is the next best thing.

A life time of love and friendship for that I will always be grateful

You were the kindest Mum ever and so sad that you never lived to enjoy all your grand children.

Sending love to you all, Merry Christmas. Wish we were all around the table again, together xxxx

Remembering with love and affection Chris and John who shared many happy times with us and our family. We all miss them very much and will be remembering them this Christmas.

December is a time that brings back memories of family Christmases when we were young with Mum and Dad making it all so special. Now as an adult with my own kids, we miss having them over to us to celebrate. There is too much space around the dinner table without them.

I will always remember our last Christmas, 2019, as being very special, we were all together for the last time.
I now know how precious every day of our 53 years together was and now what lovely memories I have for ever.

I love you with all my heart . I miss you so much

Mick and Gwen Ford – mum & dad
Love and miss you so, especially this time of year as you both loved Christmas so much – so much love, laughter and togetherness – rest in peace – love, Jacky, Caron, Mandy, Jayne and families xxxx

Such happy family times, now there's only loving memories that remain

My brother Lee, the guy with the world's biggest smile. Our first christmas with out you. Shine bright x

The first Christmas without our beloved husband to Sharon, father of Lisa and Sara, father-in-law to Alex and Ben and grandad to Alfred and Penelope.

Mum loved Lincoln Cathedral at night, especially at Christmas when it was surrounded by Christmas trees. To know that she is being remembered by having a light dedicated to her this Christmas makes it very special.

The team at St Barnabas looked after my uncle with such care and dignity. I will never forget everything the truly amazing team at the inpatient unit does for everyone of their patients. They deserve the world. I'm so happy to carry a torch in my uncles memory, and to support such amazing people.

With love to a very special husband, Dad and Grandad this Christmas xxxx
