A special service to remember fathers, grandfathers and other loved ones will be held in Basingstoke.

The Father's Day Remembrance Service will take place at the Basingstoke Crematorium on Sunday, June 21.

The service will run from 10am until 12noon and is open to all members of the community, offering people a chance to remember and honour fathers, grandfathers and other loved ones who are no longer with us.

It will provide a supportive and peaceful setting for attendees to reflect and remember together.

The programme includes a period for quiet reflection and the reading of poems, selected for their comfort and inspiration.

The service is to be led by Celebrant Helen McLean, who will guide attendees through a thoughtful and compassionate tribute to the fathers and father figures who've left enduring impacts on their lives.

The service invites everyone, irrespective of whether their loved ones are memorialised at the crematorium, to attend and participate in this time of remembrance.

A crematorium spokesperson said: "For many, Father's Day can be a time of reflection and remembrance.

"This service provides a supportive opportunity to come together, celebrate cherished memories, and honour the enduring impact of fathers and loved ones in our lives."
