Veterans from around Nottinghamshire who risked their lives during the Second World War have been recognised by the Russian Government.
A total of 27 Ushakov Medals were handed out to veterans and representatives for those who couldn't be there.
The medal is a thank you from the Russian Government for their work with Arctic Convoys between 1941 and 1945, where Allied ships provided safe passage for merchant ships en route to the Soviet Union.
The medals is one of the highest honours available to those in the Russian Navy.
