Southern Vectis is offering free bus travel for current and veteran military personnel on Saturday 29th June to mark Armed Forces Day.
Those wearing military uniform, displaying medals or carrying their military ID will be able to travel for free around the Isle of Wight all day.
Andrew Wickham, Southern Vectis’ managing director, says:
“People here are rightfully proud of our country’s military – as is our team on the Isle of Wight.
“As part of this community, we are keen to show our support for servicemen and women.
“The work our troops have done in the past, and still do now, in unimaginably hostile war zones is incredibly humbling. And we want to recognise their efforts even in this small way to help them travel to events or to see family and friends on Armed Forces Day.
“On Saturday 29 June, we welcome all those wearing their military uniform, displaying medals, or showing their military ID card on board our buses, and they may travel for free with us all day.”
