Sue Khan, chair of the tourism association, said:

“Ken was an active member of Lichfield District Tourism Association.

“Not only did he carry out his civic duties, but he also covered numerous other events, promoting Lichfield across the world as he travelled to town crier competitions, taking our Heritage Weekend ‘freebies’ to hand out in Australia.”
