The Riverfront Lantern Light Display brought together hundreds of families along the waterfront to commemorate loved ones and support Claire House’s annual lantern walk. This event, which aims to raise funds and awareness for the children’s hospice, saw families walking a 6km route from Seacombe Ferry Terminal to Vale Park and back, all while carrying lanterns in honor of those they have lost.
Claire House has been a beacon of hope for many families in Merseyside for the past 25 years, providing support to seriously and terminally ill children and their families. Event Fundraiser Mark Pearson highlighted the significance of the hospice in the community, noting that it has been a source of light in the darkness for countless families.
The lantern walk not only serves as a way to remember and celebrate loved ones but also as an opportunity for the local community to come together in support of a worthy cause. The sight of families walking side by side with lanterns in hand illuminated the Wallasey Promenade, showcasing the unity and strength of the community in times of remembrance.
As families made their way down the promenade in Wirral, the lanterns glowed brightly, symbolizing the love and memories shared with those who have passed. The event was a touching tribute to those who are no longer with us, as well as a reminder of the importance of coming together to support those in need.
The ten stunning photos captured during the lantern walk capture the essence of the event, showcasing the beauty and emotion of the evening. Families of all ages participated in the walk, each carrying a lantern that represented a special memory or loved one. The pictures tell a story of love, remembrance, and community spirit, highlighting the impact of Claire House and the support it provides to families in their time of need.
