On Sunday, March 8, the Nation will once again pause momentarily to remember all lives lost during the pandemic.

Covid19FamiliesUK will be hosting an annual memorial service in Milton Keynes in the stunning setting of Willen Lake at Willen Lake Watersport's Centre at 11am consisting of music, song and speeches and culminating in a spectacular release of thousands of bubbles across the stunning the lake with the bubbles representing lost loved ones accompanied by the poignant sound of a lament played by a lone bagpiper

This is event is a free event, open to all.

This year, Covid19familiesUK will be shining the spotlight on children who lost a loved one and upon their pain, loss and grief and are particularly keen to hear from anyone who has a child within their family who lost a loved ones during the pandemic so that they can be invited to attend the private after memorial reception for refreshments and have the opportunity to paint their own memorial stone to take away with them completely free of charge.

There will also be trained bereavement specialists on hand for anyone who feels they need support.

They are also keen to hear from any children's dance or theatre groups who would like to perform at the memorial event on the day.

All are welcome to attend the memorial. Anyone wishing to attend the private reception or offering to perform on the day should contact [email protected]
