PEOPLE are being invited to join the Mayor of Bolton, Cllr John Walsh, at a special service this Sunday at Bolton Parish Church.

It will be a service of celebration and thanksgiving for the Coronary Care Appeal at the Royal Bolton Hospital, which is the first citizen's main charity for his year of office.

Children from four primary schools in Astley Bridge will be singing at the service and the preacher will be a former chief medical officer, Dr Peter Povey.

Representatives of the Coronary Care and Cardiac Unit support groups will also be present.
