Every year at The Royal Marsden we place thousands of stars on our Christmas trees, each one remembering and celebrating the life of a loved one.
This Christmas at both the Chelsea and Sutton hospitals we turned on the lights on our Celebrate a Life Christmas trees and held short carol services while thinking of those we love.
There were performances in Sutton from Croydon High School Junior Choir, Epsom Male Voice Choir and members of Epsom and Ewell Silver Band, and in Chelsea from soloist Camilla Kerslake, Christ Church School Choir and Fulham Brass Band.
The money raised from these celebratory stars enables us to make a real difference to the 40,000 patients The Royal Marsden sees each year. This Christmas, your generous gift will help us to fund vital state-of-the-art buildings and equipment as well as pioneering research into the prevention and treatment of cancer.
You can see the name of your loved one in the Order of Service (PDF), as well as read the Christmas message from Rev Chris Lee. There are also photos from the two ceremonies on Facebook.
