Linda Sanderson, manager of the Butterfly Hospice Trust, said: “I was touched by the number of people who came to our Lights up a Life service and believe this is a reflection of the positive impact the hospice, its staff and volunteers are having in the local community. Not only did this give a special time for reflection and remembrance, it was a wonderfully uplifting way to celebrate the past year.

“On behalf of everyone at both the Butterfly Hospice Trust and Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust, I would like to thank everyone who gave their time to show their support.”

Just over 100 people attended the service.
