'We miss you so much love' - See the final heartfelt messages for loved ones added to Wolverhampton's Tree of Remembrance as grand total announced
Dozens of names and heartfelt messages have been added to the annual Wolverhampton Tree of Remembrance to honour loved ones, with more than £6,700 raised for charity.
Shoppers in the Wulfrun Centre were invited to leave a memorial message which was displayed in exchange for a £5 donation per listing which included the person's name and words and which was then put on the tree and in a cabinet nearby.
Their messages were included in the Express & Star in the run up to Christmas, with the City of Wolverhampton Rotary Club announcing that more than £6,700 had been raised from the campaign.
A spokeswoman for the Rotary club said: "Through the generous donations from members of the public and our sponsors, we have raised £6,748 and this amount will grow with Gift Aid payments.
"Members of the City of Wolverhampton Rotary Club would like to thank all those who have taken part and wish you all a Happy Christmas."
This year the beneficiaries of the money raised will be Sponsored Breaks, a local Community Interest Company (CIC) which recognises people who are most deserving of a free camper van holiday; Wolverhampton MS Therapy & Oxygen Centre which offers therapies for people with long term medical conditions; Compton Care Hospice trust and Rotary Club of Wolverhampton Charitable Trust which funds a range of causes at home and abroad.
Here are the final group of messages that have been posted, with proceeds to charity:
