Children affected by the Chernobyl nuclear power station disaster have had the chance to visit Warwick.
It is 22 years since the world's worst nuclear accident, which leaked radioactive material across Belarus and the Ukraine.
Young people from these areas still suffer from cancer and other health problems. Each year Warwick Rotary Club and the Chernobyl Children's Project enable a group to visit the town as their guests.
Warwick mayor Coun Anne Mellor and Rotary club president Thelma Atkins led the children around historic sites in the town before the group spent the afternoon at Warwick Castle.
