In the pink! Yellow Buses staff raised yet more money for cancer charities with their annual Pink Day.
For the 15th year in a row Yellow Buses turned pink to raise money and awareness for charity.
Drivers, engineers and administration staff swapped their uniforms and overalls for garish garments.
Even new managing director David Squire joined in by donning a pink wig.
Other items on display included onesies, leggings, shirts, hats, blazers and coats. They made Yellow Buses even brighter than usual.
The 15 years of fundraising by the Bournemouth-based firm has raised thousands of pounds for good causes.
This year the money went to the Wear It Pink charity.

“As well as raising money we hope to have raised some awareness about the charity.
