A bus has been decorated in the Weymouth area with poppies to mark Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.

First Wessex covered the inside of one of its buses with poppies to honour those who have lost their lives and given the ultimate sacrifice during conflict.

The bus has been spotted on Portland and in Dorchester and Chickerell as well as around routes throughout Weymouth including Littlemoor and Southill as it takes a different route each day.
