"My sister Luisa and I sadly lost both of our parents early in 2021 due to Covid. They were well known for their friendly approach to everyone, and for their kindness; always willing to help anyone in need.

"Many will have known them on a personal level but almost everyone will remember them for their Christmas light display, which they put up every year hoping to bring joy and happiness to young and old alike.

"The lights brought smiles to everyone, with people being invited inside to see that it was also throughout the house too.

"We have decided to light up their property at Weddell Road, Tilgate one last time in memory of our parents and to hopefully bring festive joy to Crawley."
