A 12-year-old boy has become the youngest person in the country to get the qualifications needed to run a pub.
Christian can pour - but he can't drink
Christian Hardacre can now pull pints behind the bar at the Star in Barnby Dun, near Doncaster.
A loophole in the law means he is legally allowed to pour drinks as long as he gets permission from the licensee - which shouldn't be a problem as the pub is run by his father, David.
"I understand he is the youngest person in the country to pass the exam," said his proud dad.
"He's absolutely over the moon and loves telling his friends about it."
Christian decided to take the British Institute of Innkeeping exam when he heard that a 16-year-old girl had passed and he thought it would be worth a try.
He got through the exam with no problems, but added: "It was a bit odd when I passed because I can't drink it but I can serve it."
As soon as he turns 18 he will be able to run his own pub - and finally have a drink himself.
