A wave of tributes have been left for people from Plymouth or those with links to the city who have died recently. The heartfelt messages appeared in the funeral notices section of PlymouthLive's sister title, The Herald.

The messages, placed between September 14 and September 20, provide comfort to the loved ones of those either lost or being celebrated. There were also three in memoriams, and one birthday memoriam.

Announcing the passing of a loved one in local news media is a long-standing tradition and we are proud of the trust placed in us to make these important announcements. Every notice published in our newspaper and on our news site also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk - the UK’s number one site for death notices and in memoriams.

Every notice remains online forever providing friends and families with a lifelong tribute to their loved one, a safe place online to share memories, add tributes, photographs and make donations in memory.
