Balloons and doves will be released in memory of loved ones this weekend.

Held at Allum Lane Cemetery in Elstree, the service will also include poems and a bagpiper.

It has been organised by the Co-operative Funeralcare, in Shenley Road, Borehamwood.

The service is held each year to give people the chance to remember friends and family, and will include a balloon release for the first time.

Anyone is welcome to attend the service, which takes place on Sunday from 2pm.

People can make donations during the event, which will go to a children’s ward at Barnet Hospital.
