SOME of the best images from around the world this week include that of a Holocaust survivor with her MBE medal and a giant artwork of Alan Turing.

The picture shows 96-year-old Holocaust survivor Maria Green with her MBE medal for services to Holocaust education following a investiture ceremony at St James’s Palace, London.

There is also a shot of Russian President Vladimir Putin arrives to deliver his speech to members of the State Duma, the Lower House of the Russian Parliament at the Great Kremlin Palace in Moscow, Russia.

The giant artwork of Alan Turing has been installed at the heart of GCHQ as the wartime hero becomes the first LGBT person to feature on a UK banknote.
