Lisa Bailey, In-Memory and Legacy Officer at Isabel Hospice, said: “The main Lights of Love event in Welwyn Garden City stands out as our largest of the services and promises attendees a warm, welcoming and heartfelt evening and an opportunity to remember their loved ones alongside others with a similar experience.
 
"While Isabel Hospice is hosting these services, no connection to the hospice is necessary to attend. We wholeheartedly open our arms to anyone wishing to mark the memory of a loved one. 

"All of our Lights of Love services are free to attend with no need to book. To see a loved-one's name in our Lights of Love Book of Dedications means so much to many of our supporters and this will be available to view at each of our services.”
