HOW TO TAKE PART >>>
It’s really easy. Simply upload a photo of the departed family member or friend you want featured in the comments (Don’t worry we can crop it), their full name and a short sentence about them, e.g who it’s from, why they’re missed etc. That’s it!
THEN, when we have 9 or more people, we’ll update the image and put up a new, respectful tribute post about them, honouring their lasting memory this festive season. We’ll be doing this throughout the Christmas holidays until Hogmanay and will try to include everybody. Place your comment…..
