St Neots Town Council is receiving applications for memorial plaques in the Forget-Me-Not Garden at St Neots Cemetery.

The garden supports grieving families who have been affected by baby loss.

Families are able to apply for a memorial plaque, which is free of charge, in the Baby Loss Memorial Garden.

The garden is open all year round for families to gather and reflect.

A spokesperson for St Neots Town Council said: "The Forget-Me-Not Garden was a huge collaborative project and without the generosity of partner agencies, St Neots Town Council would not have been able to provide residents this dedicated space of peace and tranquillity.

"We will continue to support National Baby Loss Awareness Week annually and encourage everyone to visit the Forget-Me-Not Garden to reflect and remember all the little ones who have been lost."

The news that the Town Council is accepting applications for baby memorial plaques comes days after a new government legislation on baby loss certificates.

From February 22, parents who have experienced losing a baby before 24 weeks of pregnancy can now apply for a certificate to have their grief recognised.
