Each year, the charity invites families and friends of loved ones who have passed away during the past 12 months to attend a service, which normally would be held in Scarborough and attract over 100 people.

However, due to ongoing safety guidance around Covid-19, Saint Catherine’s has created an interactive, online version of the service, so loved ones can still be a part of this special annual event.

Mike Wikerson, chief executive, said: “In these very difficult times, when many of us may have lost loved ones, this is an opportunity for us to reflect, give thanks and celebrate those lives of the loved ones that mean so much to us.”

The services features readings, hymns and images of staff, volunteers and patients.

There is also an address by civil celebrant Colin Nolan.
