A TINY village today held a service in memory of all those who have died in work-related accidents.
The event, in Stanley Crook, near Crook, County Durham, marked International Workers Memorial Day.
Linda Whelan, of Willington, County Durham, organised a service at St Thomas' Church in the village for a memorial service where candles were lit in memory of lost loved ones.
Ms Whelan co-founded Families Against Corporate Killers (Fack) after her son Craig, 23, was killed in 2002 while working as a steeplejack.
