Ken Knowles as Samuel Johnson

Some of Lichfield’s best-known sons were brought to life as part of the 2018 Staffordshire Day celebrations.

The May 1 festivities began in 2015 and this year’s event saw a number of the county’s ‘historic heroes’ remembered.

Among them where Dr Samuel Johnson and David Garrick, with the duo brought to life by Ken Knowles and Jonathan Oates respectively.
