Families who want help to find the long lost graves of their relatives are being invited to attend a 'find a grave' event.

Held in Darwen's Western Cemetery, by the volunteer group, Friends of Darwen Cemetery, the event will help re-unite people with their family history.

Chair of Friends of Darwen Cemetery, Tony Foster said: "This is an opportunity for local residents to find lost relatives buried in Darwen's Western Cemetery.

"Just bring along some basic information and friends of the cemetery will try to locate the grave site."

The event is being held on Saturday October 19 from 10.30am until 12.30pm.

Anyone wishing to attend should meet at the Cross of Sacrifice within the cemetery.
