ON the 9a bus to the city centre on November 12 at Bitterne, Southampton, I invited two Army Cadets onto the bus as they were collecting money for the Poppy Appeal.

I would like to thank the full bus of passengers who dipped into their pockets and gave generously.

The cadets got off but were asked back on again for a second round of collections
