Screen icons Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds will be honoured at a public memorial service.

The event, announced by Reynolds’ son Todd Fisher, will give fans the chance to say their goodbyes to the mother and daughter, who died just one day apart in December.

Set to be held at the Forest Lawn Cemetery Hollywood Hills on March 25, seats at the service will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.

“We will be celebrating their lives with friends, family members, and the people who loved them, you,” Fisher said in a statement.

“The service will begin at 1pm and immediately afterwards, those who want to walk to their final resting place are welcome to do so.

“There are a limited number of seats available, and it will be on a first come, first seated basis.”

Fans who don’t manage to get seats will be able to watch the memorial on big screens at the Freedom Theatre.

The mother and daughter were laid to rest earlier this month at a private service for friends and family.

Fisher, who was 60, died on December 27 after suffering a cardiac arrest on a flight from London to LA.

Reynolds, 84, dies just one day later having suffered a stroke while making funeral arrangements for her daughter at her son’s house.
