Town to hold memorial service for victims of coronavirus
A town has held a memorial service for people who lost their lives during the coronavirus pandemic.
The service on Saturday was also broadcast from St Leonard's Church in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, via an internet stream. John Adams, one of the organisers, said he hoped it would "instil some positivity and give people an opportunity for some closure".The service was led by representatives of the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches, as well as a civil celebrant and was scheduled to last an hour.
Mr Adams, who works for a local funeral director, said numbers had been reduced to about 170 in order to allow for social distancing, but "the key thing is about people being together"."But I don't think that's all bad," he added.Follow BBC West Midlands on
