A woman from Worthing has been commended for supporting a club dedicated to world peace for almost 70 years.
Babs Macdonald, chairwoman of the Worthing branch of the International Friendship League, joined the club before the Second World War.
She was presented with a certificate for long service at a ceremony in Bedford.
Branch secretary Stella Whitfield was also presented with a 25-year membership badge.
The Worthing branch is the oldest in England and was started in 1932, a year after the actual league was formed by Noel Ede.
The league aims to prevent wars by getting people to live and work together, building friendships between nations.
The branch meets on the second and fourth Thursday of every month, at 7.45pm, in Frazer Lodge, Wykeham Road.
