Russia says thankyou to WWII Arctic convoy heroes
A pensioner has been presented with a medal by the Russians 70 years after taking part in the Arctic convoys which kept their country supplied during the Second World War.
Ken Robinson saw many ships in the convoys destroyed, but his only injury was a sore head from getting out of a lifeboat.
Now, what he and his crewmates did has been officially recognised by the Russian government - and Ken has been presented with a service medal and Russian passport.
