KENDAL Rangers honoured the centenary year of women getting the vote by designing a celebratory banner which has gone on display at the town's Museum of Lakeland Life and Industry.

The 100th year of women in Britain gaining the right to vote was commemorated at countless events around the country, including through the 'Celebrating the Women of Cumbria' initiative.

This project involved 11 museums working with girls and women from Girlguiding, the WI, the Trefoil Guild and Soroptimists International, who collaborated with Cumbrian artist Karen MacDougall to create an artistic response to the anniversary.

Rangers Rebecca Tarney, Sophie Hansen and Josie Hardy, participated in the project which allowed them to 'celebrate women in general as well as the suffragette movement and also look at votes for people aged 16 plus.'

Imogen and Sophie Hansen ended up as the models for the young voters at the bottom of the banner.
