Residents in Weymouth are being invited to attend a service of Remembrance to remember their loved ones.

Dorset Council is hosting the service on Sunday July 21 at Weymouth crematorium at 2.30pm.

The 9th annual memorial service will be led by the crematorium staff, and will be held in the Garden of Remembrance , weather permitting.

If the weather is poor, it will take place in the chapel.

A spokesperson for Dorset Council said: "The service is free to attend, and everyone is very welcome to come along and remember all those that have passed away.

"The theme of the service is memories. This will be a time for reflection and meditation for the bereaved to remember their loved ones.

"Upon arrival, a service sheet will be provided to follow proceedings. The service will include poems and music, and there will be an opportunity to light a candle in the chapel.

It will also be a time to remember and reflect on the 80th anniversary of the D-Day Landings."

People are invited to start gathering from 2.15pm, for a 2:30pm start.

The service is expected to last around 45 - 60mins.

Free refreshments will be provided by The Weymouth Salvation Army and attendees are recommended to bring a chair.
