Selby rail crash vicitms to be remembered
The families of people killed in the Selby rail disaster are to be remembered at a special church service today.
A spokesman said the 45-minute service would be simple and provide an opportunity for those involved in the immediate locality and aftermath to focus their thoughts and feelings in prayer.
The Bishops of Doncaster and Selby, the Chairman of the York and Hull District Methodist Church, and the Vicar General of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Leeds will join local clergy.
The service is being held at 3pm at the Parish Church of St Paul, Hensall, about one mile from the crash site.
The service will include Bible readings and four well-known hymns, and will end with a brief period of silence.
The spokesman said: "All are welcome, whether local residents, those in any way affected by the crash, or those involved in any capacity in the aftermath".
Plans are also under way for a larger memorial service in the region.
