Sir John Whittingdale OBE, MP for Maldon, was hugely grateful for the opportunity to switch on the Christmas Tree lights in the chapel at Heybridge Cemetery in his constituency.
The event was organised by the Friends of the Cemetery, a number of local residents attended and refreshments with mulled wine were provided.
As has become a tradition, the Christmas Tree was decorated with notes in memory of family members and others loved ones who had died and were still remembered.
