The Basingstoke Gazette published seven death notices last week.

Every week, the Gazette publishes death notices and funeral announcements from the families of loved ones who have passed away.

As well as appearing in print, our death notice pages will remain online as a lasting tribute to the memory of those we have lost.

Anyone who wishes to send their own message of condolence can do so by visiting the deceased's death notice page.

Here are the most recent notices placed in the Gazette:
