'Stormy' Lovegrove: Naval send-off for Arctic hero:

The funeral has taken place of a veteran of the World War II Arctic convoys who died just weeks before he was to receive a long-awaited medal.

Herbert William Lovegrove, known as Stormy, made nine trips on the route called the "worst journey in the world" by Winston Churchill.

He had been due to receive the medal from Prince Michael of Kent in August but died in May, aged 91, after a fall.
