York Crematorium is holding a special memorial service on Sunday, at 12.30pm.

Crematorium Chaplain the Rev Allan Hughes will take the service and families are invited to remember their loved ones, either by attending or by giving the names of those who have died to be read out during the half-hour service.

Afterwards, names can be written on cards which will then be attached to helium balloons and launched after an outdoor blessing.

There will also be an opportunity to look around the facilities at the crematorium for anyone who arrives early.
