British and Russian veterans of the Arctic convoys came together to present an Arctic Star medal to the Central Museum of the Great Patriotic War in Moscow.
They were joined by Russian officials and diplomats from the embassies of its Second World War allies, Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand for the presentation ceremony at the end of November.
Those British veterans who had not yet received their Russian Ushakov Medals for bravery at sea also took possession of their awards in Moscow.
