"Flowers can be left on our church fence, you'll be welcome to join us for worship at 11am, and in the afternoon, we'll open a drop-in for the community to come and chat or pray or just have a cup of tea. We'll be here for you tomorrow."
People across Northern Ireland have sent their condolences to the grieving community in Larne.
Tagit Tullycarnet in East Belfast said: "Heartfelt sympathy sent to the families of a Bonfire builder in Larne (Antiville Bonfire) who has tragically passed away last night at the bonfire. So sad."

"Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this time.
"Please be aware that if you are building or attending a bonfire they are dangerous. Please ensure that you are building them in a safe way as possible and/or be aware of how close you are standing as it's lit. We have unfortunately already lost one life too soon, we do not need another."
