The American ambassador to the UK has visited Lichfield as a guest of the city’s MP.

Michael Fabricant welcomed Woody Johnson on Friday (6th March).

As part of a visit, he attended both Lichfield Cathedral and the National Memorial Arboretum, as well as visiting American-owned business Anixter in Fradley.

Conservative MP Mr Fabricant said:

> “He came as my guest and visited the arboretum where he laid a wreath in honour of the fallen of both our nations.  
>  
> “We then visited Anixter before taking a stroll through Lichfield, culminating in a tour of the cathedral and a chance to hear the choir practice.  
>  
> “Both he an I are keen to promote Lichfield district as a tourist destination and see closer ties between the United Kingdom and the United States.”
