THE most visited exhibition in the world, telling the story of Jewish girl Anne Frank who went into hiding with her family during World War Two, is to visit Cumbria in October.

Cumbria County Council is to give £6,000 towards the cost of the exhibition, and is working closely with Tullie House Museum, Carlisle City Council and the vicar of St Cuthbert's Church, Carlisle, the Rev Richard Pratt, who is co-ordinating arrangements.

County council leader Coun Rex Toft said children from all over the county would be encouraged to visit the exhibition.
