Bluestar has announced free bus travel for all current and veteran military personnel.

This initiative on June 28 is in celebration of Armed Forces Day.

Nikki Honer, Bluestar's head of communications, said: "People living across our area are incredibly proud of our military - and so is our team.

"As part of this community, we want to show our support for servicemen and women.

"Our troops work tirelessly to keep us and our allies safe.

"They have done this in the past and they are still doing it now - often in unimaginably hostile environments.

"We want to show our appreciation in this small way to help them travel to events or to see family and friends on Armed Forces Day."

Bluestar welcomes all those in military uniform, displaying medals, or showing their military ID card aboard their buses for free travel on June 28.
