Sunday: Baby Loss Awareness families' lantern walk
Baby Loss Awareness Week runs from 9 to 15 October. On Sunday evening, families who have lost a baby will meet at Lincoln Bishop University at 6pm to light their lanterns, then walk together to Lincoln Cathedral, where the lanterns will be laid in the shape of a heart at the entrance.
