A special coffee morning was held at the parish church in Hartlebury for the village to say farewell to Postmaster Gordon Henderson and his wife Margaret.
The couple have run Hartlebury Post Post Office and Stores since 2009 but have now decided to take a well-earned retirement.
Their support for village organisations was mirrored by presentations of vouchers and flowers. Gordon said he and his wife were looking forward to having more quality time together.
The new owners, Wendy and Jag(correct) Kalhwan, from Walsall, plan to keep existing staff.
