ARMED forces personnel and veterans travelling to and from Remembrance Sunday are being offered free journeys by The Buses of Somerset to commemorate Remembrance Sunday.

The bus operator has announced the concession on Sunday, November 13 in honour of all the fallen and the surviving veterans of conflict.

Members of the armed forces who are in uniform, or able to show an identification card, will be able to claim free travel.

The offer is also open to members of the cadet forces in uniform and veterans who display valid identification, such as the MOD issued Veteran's Badge.

The Buses of Somerset managing director, Alex Carter, said: “We’re proud to be supporting Remembrance Sunday and to make it as easy as possible for armed forces personnel to attend.

"With many events and services taking place across our region, we want to help ensure that everyone has the opportunity to pay their respects to those that sacrificed so much for our country.”
