Prince Harry meets Barbara Windsor in support of the London Poppy Day Appeal

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 are among those touring on the bus to support London Poppy Day.

Around 2,500 collectors are taking part in events before Remembrance Sunday.

Collectors have converged at more than 60 tube and train stations across London.

Entertaining commuters

For Prince Harry it was a chance to thank some of those hoping to raise £1 million in just 12 hours across the capital to support the Armed Forces community.

Volunteers are also collecting on the Thames Clippers and at other locations including more than 70 of London's major firms.

Covent Garden is hosting performances throughout the day from Britain's Got Talent stars Lucy Kay and Jonathan Antoine, the RAF Spitfires Choir and the Royal Army Physical Training Corps Edwardian Display Team.

Maurillia 'Simi' Simpson - who has been helped by the legion - is also a passenger on the bus.

She served three tours of Iraq with the Royal Logistics Corp before a motorist ran a red light, knocking her unconscious and leaving her in need of support for years to come.

She said: "It's very special to see everyone getting behind the Poppy Appeal and the work of The Royal British Legion.

"The Poppy is about remembrance but it also symbolises hope for the future of the living - for the Armed Forces community of all ages and their families."
