Vigil to remember the lives lost in Jersey’s flat explosion and fishing tragedy

 

A service led by the Dean of Jersey, the Very Reverend Mike Keirle, will take place at the Town Church this evening.

 

A vigil to remember those who lost their lives in two tragedies in Jersey will be held this evening. A service led by the Dean of Jersey, the Very Reverend Mike Keirle, will take place at the Town Church at 6 pm (14 December).

Islanders are invited to gather together or watch the service online to reflect on the disasters.

It comes after a block of flats was destroyed in an explosion in Jersey‘s capital in the early hours of Saturday morning and the collision between a fishing boat and a ferry which left three dead on Thursday.

There is limited seating capacity for the public at the church and seating will be on a first come, first served basis.

Seating for families and individuals related to these incidents can be reserved by contacting the Chief Officer of the Bailiff’s Chambers by email on s.cartwright@courts.je.

 

Books of condolence will also be open at Parish and Public Halls across the island to allow parishioners to convey their thoughts.
