Tributes have been paid in Orkney to honour and remember those who survived – as well as those who lost their lives – during the Arctic Convoys during World War Two.
Consul General of Russia in Edinburgh Mr Sergey Krutikov, today, Thursday, laid a wreath at the Arctic Convoys memorial in Lyness to mark the occasion, on what is marked and celebrated as Victory Day in Russia.
