RUSSIA has honoured a Knutsford man for missions he carried out during the Second World War.

Russia had wanted to present the medal to Malcolm and other surviving members of the convoys for years, but successive British governments have prevented it, saying it broke rules on foreign decorations.

“The Russian people couldn’t do enough for us,” said Malcolm.
