A PHOTOGRAPHIC exhibition takes place at Kendal Library on April 9 to celebrate the achievements of the Russian Arctic Convoys.

Seamen from the Russian Convoy Club, who shipped food and ammunition from Newcastle to Russia during the Second World War, are expected to attend the event, which begins at midday.

The exhibition, which will be opened by the mayor of Kendal David Birkett, has been organised by the Cumbria Friends of Russia and the Republics.
