North East Herts MP Oliver Heald gave a reading at the Buntingford Lights of Love Celebration. The service was conducted by the Reverend Ian Hill. Chris Garrett of Isabel Hospice spoke and Cllr Basra, the Mayor of Buntingford, lit the Christmas tree after the traditional countdown.
Oliver’s reading was from the writings of actor David Kossoff and spoke of the important of lighting candles during this season.
Commenting, Oliver Heald said, “This was the best attended Lights of Love in Buntingford, with hundreds of local residents attending. The choirs from St Peter’s Church and St Mary’s in Aspenden were complemented by the corneteer from the United Reform Church. This event is a great credit to Buntingford and was a good start to Christmas, enabling local people to remember loved ones.”
