Once a week we share tributes from family and friends for lost loved ones who have died across Nottinghamshire. Each notice will remain online forever, providing a place for people to look back on and remember.

Announcing the death of a loved one in local news media is a long-standing tradition, with every notice published to our newspaper and news site also appearing on funeral-notices.co.uk - the UK’s No 1 site for death notices.

Here are the notices published in the Nottingham Post - from Saturday, November 23 until Friday, November 29, 2024. Our thoughts are with friends and family affected.
