PEOPLE in Hambleton are being urged to turn out their lights for an hour on Friday, and take part in a nationwide act of reflection 100 years on from the First World War.
The district council is encouraging people to take part in “Lights Out” and leave just one light or candle shining from 10pm to 11pm this Friday, joining attractions like the Blackpool Illuminations and Tower Bridge.
The council is also running a “Memory Tree” and would like to hear from people who have heard stories from relatives. about it.
