Second world war conscientious objector Hugh Maw was among those marking the official opening of a new peace centre in Birmingham.

The Peace Hub, a Central England Quakers project, opened on 26 February. Local school children and members of the public joined Paul Sabapthy, lord lieutenant for the West Midlands, and deputy lord mayor Mike Leddy, to celebrate over tea and cake.
