Lichfield’s official ale tasters have been raising a glass following the reopening of the city’s pubs.

Colin Ablitt and Nick Sedgwick headed for the outdoor seating area of the Duke of York to ensure pints were perfect for the return of drinkers following the easing of lockdown restrictions.
Mr Sedgwick, who has held the post for 34 years, said:
“We have to do what has to be done – it is a tough job, but we have missed it.”
