THE MARIE Curie Hospice’s annual Christmas appeal is now under way and the days are counting down to the Lights to Remember ceremony on December 11.

The hospice, located in Lyndhurst Gardens, would like to invite members of the public to dedicate a light in memory of a loved one during the festive period.

The special service will feature musical performances from classical girl group All Angels and readings by a Marie Curie nurse, actor Richard Wilson and Ham&High editor Geoff Martin.

The ceremony will take place at St Stephen’s Church in Rosslyn Hill at 4pm. For more information visit www.mariecurie.org.uk/lightsrememberhampstead2010.
