The quarter hour chime of the cathedral clock reminded visitors to Dean John Dobson's Ripon garden that it was time to toast a successful launch to the city's 1350 celebrations.
There was also a sense of relief that the annual beer festival he and his family host was back after two years of covid lockdowns.
Dean John, enjoying his pint of Wilfrid's Ale — specially created in honour of Ripon's patron saint — told the Stray Ferret:
The bar team at the beer festival, ready to serve the first customers.
Bishop's fingers on the pump - the Rt Revd. Jonathan Gibbs, who is the Bishop of Huddersfield, gave the bar team a helping hand
Baby Levi and his dad, Ben, were also on bar duty
To accompany the food and beers, seven bands provided live music.
