Cheers Ma'am: Bridgnorth Beer Festival visitors raise a glass to the Queen
Beer lovers in Bridgnorth enjoyed the town's annual Severn Valley Railway festival - the first one in three years.
Doubts had been expressed over whether this one, which featured over 50 beers, ciders and perries, would go ahead after the Queen's death on Thursday.
But as the bells rang out in Bridgnorth for The Queen on Friday lunchtime, festival manager Alan Thwaites raised a glass and called for a minute's silence in her memory, with a celebration of the new king following on Saturday.
The event proved so popular that by 6pm on Saturday everything was sold out, and one of the organisers, Alison Nicholls from Bridgnorth Camra, said the event was a great success.
"The proof of how popular it was showed in the fact everything was sold by early Saturday evening," she said.
"There was a steady flow of people from when it started.
"We hadn't been able to hold the festival in the last two years so there was definitely an appetite for it, the weather was good and people came out in quantity."
Alison also thanked members of Wyre Forest Camra branch who made a trip on the Severn Valley Railway to come and staff the event for four hours on Saturday afternoon.
