A community in Skegness has been helping make Christmas memories for its residents.

The Philip Grove memory tree was lit at the Community Centre on Friday night where everyone is invited to leave tributes to lost loved ones.

Residents of Philip Grove and Charles Close were invited along to sing carols and enjoy mince pies and mulled wine.

Coun David Cargill led a service and the Skegness Ambassadors went along to offer support.
