Tributes have been paid following the deaths of two long-serving members of Lichfield Civic Society.

The group has confirmed the deaths of former treasure Mark Farrant ex-chairman Alan Thompson in a newsletter to members.

A spokesperson said:

> “Mark joined the committee in 1996\. He actively supported the society and could be seen at meetings well into his nineties.  
>  
> “Although quietly spoken, Mark cared strongly about the future of the city – he was a true, old-fashioned gentleman.  
>  
> “Alan may have held the record for the longest membership of the society.  
>  
> “Records show that he was already serving on the committee in 1980.  
>  
> “His background as a lecturer in design served him well in assessment of the quality of planning applications.  
>  
> “We offer our condolences to their families and friends.”
