Christmas is usually filled with joy and frivolity, but for some it is also a time for reflection and a chance to remember loved ones.

Wigan and Leigh Hospice’s Light for a Life service is a popular way to honour those who have died and look back at those cherished memories.

Ahead of this year’s ceremony on Sunday, December 1, we delved into our archives to find photographs from previous events dating back to 2004.
