It was all served up with a slice of cake and a biscuit or two and washed down with a great British cuppa - from a specially liveried double decker bus that local residents couldn’t miss.

The charity was thrilled to welcome Pam St Clement who chatted to the veterans, guests as well as Waitrose partners.

Rosie Thompson MBE, Head of Events, The Not Forgotten said: “We were thrilled to launch the Anyone For Tea Tour Bus and couldn’t have done this without the sponsorship and assistance of Waitrose.”

The tour, sponsored by 11 Waitrose stores, will see the Anyone For Tea bus pull up at other Waitrose car parks from Cornwall to Glasgow.

The Not Forgotten was founded 102 years ago to provide entertainment, social activities and challenge holidays for wounded, sick and injured service personnel and veterans and to improve physical and mental health, address isolation and loneliness and promote a sense of community and balance.

The charity already supports over 10,000 beneficiaries and hopes to encourage more veterans to come forward so they can benefit from its varied programme of events.
