Free pints given to NHS workers in honour of mayorpublished at 09:09 British Summer Time 9 June 2020
The widow of a mayor, who died last year, is offering free pints of beer to key workers.
Jenny Wood has teamed up with the Moonshine and Milton breweries in Cambridgeshire to honour Nigel Gawthorpe, who died on holiday in South Africa in January 2019.
NHS staff can have one pint a day on the house - at a safe, socially distanced collection point at The Haymakers, external pub on Chesterton High Street.
Ms Wood said if the former Cambridge mayor was alive, he would be out helping others.
"The idea was to give some beer to volunteers who have been working so hard," she said.

BBC NewsA dance music festival that usually attracts about 20,000 fans on each of its three days in September has been postponed until 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Image source, Sundown FestivalThe Sundown, external event at the Norfolk Showground, featuring drum & bass, electronic, garage, house and pop artists, had been planned as one "one of our most epic parties to date", the festival website said.
Acts due to play this year included Loyle Carner, Sean Paul, Fredo, Becky Hill, Wilkinson and Example.
"The continued impact of this unprecedented situation will limit our ability to deliver the festival experience that you guys expect, and most importantly to deliver it in a way which protects you, the artists, our team and the local community," it added.
Tickets will be valid for the next Sundown on 3-5 September 2021.
"Look after each other, big up the NHS and all those working hard to enable us to come together again soon," the website added.
