The date for Villa's annual memorial service has now been set.

'A Celebration of Life' will be held at the Holte Suite on Friday May 3 [2pm].

The service will be conducted by Rev Andy Jolley from Aston Parish Church and Villa's club chaplain Ken Baker.

There will be tributes from guest speakers from Villa and Acorns, together with musical contributions.

We invite all supporters and their families, friends, employees and contacts of Villa to remember loved ones who held the club close to their hearts.

In bringing everybody together we hope to share fond memories and celebrate their lives.

Following the service there will be an informal reception and the opportunity to meet other guests, the chaplain and other representatives of the club and associated partners.
