There are long-established links between the towns of Ulverston and Albert, in northern France.
For decades, town representatives and schoolchildren have been crossing the channel to learn more about each other's cultures.

During their time in France, both councillors visited the memorial for the Ulverston Street Trench, where British Tommies fought and died during the Battle of the Somme, in 1916.
