A star-lit tribute is giving families across the region a special way to remember lost loved ones in Welwyn Garden City.
Isabel Hospice’s Lights of Love campaign, running across eastern Hertfordshire, invites people to dedicate a virtual star in memory of someone special.
The stars will be displayed on the charity’s virtual Christmas tree, with each dedication helping to support its ongoing work in the community.
Lisa Bailey, In-Memory and Legacy Officer at Isabel Hospice, said: "Christmas can be a particularly difficult time when someone you love is no longer with you.
"Our virtual Lights of Love Christmas Tree offers people a special way to remember and celebrate those they miss most.
"Whether it's sharing a favourite memory, a cherished message or a photograph, every dedication is a personal way to honour someone special while supporting the vital work of Isabel Hospice."
The virtual stars will shine throughout the festive season, with supporters able to leave messages, share memories, and upload photographs of their loved ones.
All dedications made by Monday, November 16, will be included in the Lights of Love Book of Dedications and published in the December 9 edition of the Welwyn Hatfield Times.
The Lights of Love Book will also be displayed at each of the charity's Lights of Love services, which are open to all members of the community.
The main Lights of Love service will take place at The View in Welwyn Garden City on Thursday, December 3, 2026.
Other events will be held at The Manor House in Buntingford on Friday, November 27; Market Square in Bishop's Stortford on Sunday, November 29; Halsey Masonic Hall in Cheshunt on Sunday, December 6; and Sayesbury Manor in Sawbridgeworth on Saturday, December 12.
