Military personnel, cadets and veterans travelling to Remembrance events in Exeter on Sunday and Monday are being offered free travel on buses.
The offer is from Stagecoach on all its bus services across the UK. It covers Remembrance Sunday (10 November) and Armistice Day, Monday 11 November.
The offer applies to any serving personnel or cadet in uniform, those with a military ID card, and veterans wearing medals or veterans' badges attending remembrance services.
Additionally, some Stagecoach fleets will be proudly decorated with poppy graphics as a symbol of remembrance and respect, and destination screens on buses will display messages of support in tribute to the Armed Forces.
Claire Miles, Stagecoach Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are incredibly proud to employ thousands of veterans, and it’s a privilege to honour the bravery and dedication of our Armed Forces, cadets, and veterans by offering free travel during Remembrance Weekend.
“This initiative underscores our commitment to supporting those who serve or have served our country, along with the families and communities who support them.”
Remembrance Weekend provides an opportunity for the public to come together and express their support for the cadet and Armed Forces community. It serves as a time for individuals to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who have served and continue to serve in the military.
