In times of sadness and contemplation it has long been tradition to light a candle in memory of a lost loved one.
And now one particular candle from a popular range has developed a following among those wishing to burn a flame in tribute to people who have passed away.
The Yankee Candle company was founded in Massachusetts in 1969 and is one of the world's best known - and best loved - candle brands. With over 200 scents in the range you are really spoiled for choice.
Angel's Wings - with top notes of sugarcane and caramel - is one Yankee scent rapidly growing in popularity, mainly due to its name.
Amazingly the candle, which in the flagship 'large jar' size normally retails at £24, can be found on sale right now for as little as £15 as retailers get ready for the Christmas rush.

Yankee describes the scent of the spiritually uplifting Angel's Wings candle as a 'beautiful, airy aroma of joyfully sweet spun sugar, heavenly sheer flower petals and divinely smooth vanilla'.
In a pure white wax with a simple picture on the jar, this candle is an ideal tribute candle that can be lit any time you want to remember someone you've lost.
Reviewers on Amazon.co.uk have explained how they have found the candle to bring them comfort as they grieve a loved one.
Sonia wrote: I bought this candle due to its name, after losing my daughter. I had been looking for a candle for a while and this one is perfect."
On the Yankee Candle website Amanda says: "It has a softness and gentleness about it that helps me relax and gives me a feeling of calm. It melts away my troubles, just like an Angel stroking away my problems."
MaryBell adds: "This candle's smell is subtle and relaxing. I like to light it at night and as it flickers next to me it feels like my dear husband is still nearby."
Amazon user MDBG said: "I bought two of these candles for my nan's birthday. Since losing my grandfather 14 years ago, she has always called him her "Angel's Wings" so I thought that she could have the candles as a memorial for her late hubby."
Large jar Yankee candles should burn for at least 110 hours - but if you look after your candle it could last for 150 hours.
