COLCHESTER General Hospital will host a Thanksgiving and Remembrance service for people who have lost a loved one at hospital.

The service, on Sunday, November 17 at 3pm, is organised by the chaplaincy team but is open to anyone who has suffered a loss.

Revd David Flower said: “We’ve decided to hold the service at the hospital rather than in a church in order to make it more accessible. It is for everyone of any religion or none.”

It takes place at the Postgradute Medical Centre. Free parking is at Staff Car Park E.
