People of all ages took part and along the way shared stories and celebrated memories of family and friends who have died.

Amy Winehouse, head of relationships fundraising at St Clare Hospice, said: "We’re truly grateful to everyone who took part in this year’s Walking in Memory events, and the support we’ve received from our local community."

The hospice thanked their volunteers and sponsors Exertis, Barrington’s, Sovereign Specialist Services and Peasgood and Skeates for supporting both events.
