Prince Harry has met poppy sellers and celebrities at Buckingham Palace on the first stop of their tour of London in a classic 1960s Routemaster bus.
Actress Barbara Windsor and singer Joss Stone were among those touring on the bus to support London Poppy Day.
Around 2,500 collectors took part in events ahead of Remembrance Sunday.
Collectors converged at more than 60 tube and train stations. Volunteers were also on the Thames Clippers and at more than 70 of London's major firms.
For Prince Harry it was a chance to thank some of those hoping to raise £1m in 12 hours across the capital, to support the Armed Forces community. More
