LOST loved ones are set to be remembered as Bournemouth hosts its biggest memorial event.

Light Up the Prom takes place at Pier Approach at 7.30pm on Friday, November 23, when Bournemouth Hospital Charity teams up with Macmillan Caring Locally to pay tribute to those who were the shining lights in people's lives.

Members of the public can dedicate a light to the memory of a loved one for £5 and then join hundreds on the Bournemouth Pier Approach for an evening of memories. The event features two minutes of silent reflection as hundreds of lights illuminate the prom, followed by a fireworks display. Musical entertainment will also be provided by The Funky Little Choir.

Bournemouth Hospital Charity events officer, Karen Smith, said: “No matter if you’re young or old, we invite you to commemorate and celebrate those who are no longer with us during this wonderful event.”

Proceeds from Light Up the Prom will be shared between Bournemouth Hospital Charity and Macmillan Caring Locally, who support the Macmillan Unit at Christchurch Hospital.

This year’s event is sponsored by Harold G Walker Solicitors and made possible thanks to Pains Fireworks, who have been supporting the occasion since its inception in 2014.
