Warwick Mayor Cllr Oliver Jacques and Rotary Club President Elect Dick Dixon welcomed over a hundred people last Sunday to a service of dedication in Warwick Market Square for the Lights of Love on the town Christmas tree which remember those we have lost.
A short carol service was led by Canon Peter Holliday, from St Mary’s Church. Readings relating to loss of loved ones were made by Rotarian Dick Dixon, the Mayor, Town Clerk Jayne Topham and Canon Holliday, which were interspersed by our favourite carols.
Members of Emscote and All Saints Junior school choir sang accompanied by Warwick Community Band. During the service the lights on the Christmas tree were turned on. The tree donated by Barn Close Nurseries, is now covered with cards donated by people remembering loved ones and will be left up until the New Year.
There is still time to place a card on the tree, please complete a form and return to the Tourist Office, Claridges, Torreys, or the Post Office in Warwick. They will stay on the tree until Jan 2nd.
Proceeds will be shared between Myton Hospice and the Mayor’s charities. Names of those remembered on the tree are shown next to the tree, and will be placed on the Rotary website www.warwickrotary.org.uk.
