Patrick Swayze memorial planned for Sunday

Friends and colleagues will mark actor's passing

Dirty Dancing star Patrick Swayze was told he had pancreatic cancer two years ago

Patrick Swayze's life is to be celebrated at a memorial on Sunday.

The private service will be held at Sony Studios in Culver City, California.

Mourners have been asked to make a contribution to cancer charities.

‘In lieu of flowers, please make donations to either of the following two organisations: The Patrick Swayze Pancreas Cancer Research Fund or Stand Up To Cancer,' reads a statement from his rep.

Patrick, 57, lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on 14 September.

A memorial was also held in Lake Lure, North Carolina - where Dirty Dancing was filmed - two weeks ago.
