Remembering those who have died or have suffered injury from accidents on Irish farms will be the focus an ecumenical remembrance service to be held in Co. Laois.

Around 120 families have contacted the directors of Embrace Farm, a bereavement support group, for their loved one to be remembered this year.

This annual event, which has taken place since 2014, will be held in the Church of the Most Holy Rosary in Abbeyleix at 2pm on June 25. The service will be led by Church of Ireland Bishop Michael Burrows with local Christian clergy in attendance.

Embrace Farm was founded by Brian Rohan and his wife Norma, in memory of his father Liam who died as a result of a farming accident.
