THE annual Tree of Lights service in Llangefni has been cancelled.

Llangefni Rotary Club said the Christmas service, in which lights are placed on a tree at St Cyngar's Church in memory of lost loved ones, could not go ahead due to coronavirus restrictions.

However it said an 'in memoriam' Facebook page has been set up for the families to post about those they have lost this year.

"Due to the restriction on events, this year the Llangefni Rotary Club Tree of Lights Church service at St Cyngar’s Church Llangefni will not be able to take place this year," a Llangefni Rotary Club spokesperson said.

"The usual annual service takes place in memory of those people we have lost, but who live on forever in our hearts and memories.

"As an alternative to the 'In memoriam' book at the service, the Rotary Club has set up a Facebook group ‘AngleseyTreeOfLights’ for anyone who would like to post memories of loved ones who they have lost, and to also share their photos, if they so wish.

"Usually the service has a collection in aid of St David’s Hospice, and this year the group will encourage donations through the hospice website instead."
