Lights for your loved ones

Organised by Portishead Christmas Lights committee and supported by the Times, the campaign invites people to make a donation to the Christmas lights in memory of loved ones.

Every penny goes to the lights and the names of those remembered are published in this feature. They are also displayed on a screen in the shop window of Freemans Home Entertainment Centre at 47 High Street, along with any photographs submitted.

Lights committee treasurer Barry Randal said: “This is a lovely way to help people remember their loved ones and support the lights that are enjoyed by the whole town at the same time.

“The campaign has done really well once again and we thank everyone who has taken part.”
