Each year St Michael’s Hospice hosts Lights of Love, an opportunity for local people to make a tangible act of remembrance for loved ones no longer with us, in the form of dedicating a star or heart on a Lights of Love tree. Lights of love services had already taken place recently at churches in Hastings, Bexhill, Rye and Battle. The environmentally friendly stars were provided by the hospice. A brass band played Christmas music to add to the special atmosphere. Have you read? In pictures: Hospice Christmas on the Coast event Have you read?
