A pub landlord who "lived his life to the full", died suddenly the day his newly refurbished pub was meant to open.
Nigel Bird, a keen restaurateur and pillar of the local community, passed away on his birthday from a heart attack.
The 57-year-old had revamped the Friars Tuck Inn in Gloucester - adding a beer garden, heated gazebo's and gastro-menu to encourage locals and families to visit the area.
