Those grieving can come together with others who have been through a similar experience.

Families and friends will have the opportunity to share tributes, light candles in remembrance and hear the names of loved ones read aloud from a memorial roll.

A spokesperson for Lancashire Highways said: “We will be joined by representatives from the police, fire and rescue, ambulance services and local authorities as we come together to remember and reflect.

“The multi-faith service is open to people of all faiths and no faith, and anyone affected by loss or injury following a road traffic collision is warmly invited to attend.”

The service will be followed by wreath laying at the RoadPeace memorial stone outside the Chapel at Bow Lane.

If you would like to attend and receive details about the service, including the timings, directions and free parking, please email [email protected].
