Thoughts for lost children

Children's bereavement charity Richmond's Hope will hold a service of remembrance on Christmas Eve.

The event at Richmond Craigmillar Church will offer the chance to pay tribute to young people who have died.

Those who attend will have the chance to write a message on a dove ornament in memory of someone who has died, and children will then be invited to hang them on a tree of remembrance.

The event begins at 6.30pm at the church on Niddrie Mains Road.
