St Barnabas Hospice ran its annual Light Up A Life procession through Lincoln on Tuesday night, streaming it virtually this year due to COVID-19 restrictions.
The annual torchlit procession usually allowed people to walk through the city holding flaming torches, before ending up at the Tree of Life at Lincoln Cathedral.
The tree will be up until January 7, allowing people to honour a loved one this Christmas, with each light decoration representing someone different.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the event was broadcast on St Barnabas Hospice’s social media pages and website at 7pm on Tuesday.

Following the poems and speeches was a solo performance by Finlay Macghee, a member of the RAF Waddington pipe band.
Amazing Grace was played as two candles were walked and held by the Tree of Life outside Lincoln Cathedral, where reverend canon John Patrick celebrated the work of St Barnabas.

Hymns, memories of loved ones and gorgeous scenes of the tree were shared on the video before a closing message of hope from Chris Wheway, CEO of St Barnabas.
A 52-year-old Grantham man lost his battle with COVID-19 this month and his daughter is raising money to “give him the send off he deserves”.
He worked at a SPAR store in Grantham for over 10 years and was popular at work as he had a very good sense of humour.
Paul Mayfield’s daughter Hayley Ann Marson said he was “clear and well of the virus” before being rushed to Lincoln County Hospital with breathing issues.
He sadly died later the same week on Saturday, November 14. She said he didn’t die from coronavirus, but from an underlining illness related to COVID that left a massive strain on his heart and caused it to fail.
Paul had seven children (Scott Slark, Hayley Marson, Carl Slark, Gareth Slark, Blake Slark, Anthony Clark and Kieran Mayfield), and was a loving partner to Sara Slark for 18 and a half years.
His daughter Hayley has set up a GoFundMe page to help with any funeral costs. At the time of publication, the page has so far raised just over £890.
On the fundraising page, she said: “Paul was the only son to Barbara Mayfield, who he would try and help when he could, even if it was a little thing. He helped her with shopping and walking the dog called Lady.
“Unfortunately Paul lost his dad at the age of 17, so was brought up alone with Barbara.
“He was proud of all the children of what they have become and accomplished. We all know he is looking down on us. Let’s try and give him the send off he deserves.”
