KEIGHLEY families which have gone through the agony of losing a baby are being invited to attend a special service.

The event, at Bradford Cathedral, is part of a series of Saying Goodbye services being staged internationally.

Anyone whose baby has died during pregnancy, at birth or in infancy is invited to attend.

People grieving the fact they have never had children are also welcome.

The service – at 4pm on Sunday, October 16 – will feature contemporary music, poetry and readings, acts of remembrance and time for reflection.

"These services help families pay tribute to their lost babies and provide an opportunity for people to say goodbye," said a spokesman.

"It is free to attend and open to anyone of any faith or no faith.

"We hope people from across West Yorkshire and beyond will take the time to come along."
