During a service led by Reverend Jo Morris on Tuesday, October 19 people lit their candles from the church’s Paschal while The Weekend’s Save Your Tears was played.
Later, as a recording of Gracie herself singing in the bathroom was played, some broke down in tears.
Rev Morris read prayers and told those gathered that Gracie “just a really nice person”, adding: “I think it’s really lovely there are so many of you here tonight.”
