A CLASSIC red London Routemaster bus caused a stir in Bournemouth as it promoted a production of Summer Holiday coming to town.

Bournemouth and Boscombe Light Opera Company is putting on the show, made famous in the Cliff Richard film, at the Pavilion between June 5 and 9.

It ran a colouring competition with schools and the winners and runners-up were announced on Sunday as the bus parked up outside the theatre.

Katie Ford, 10, a St Luke’s School pupil, was overall winner and her design will be used in publicity and the show programme.

Runners-up were Luca Devitto, Abigail Phillips and Sean Maguire.

Company chairman David Raven said: “The bus got a lot of attention down here.

“A lot of people were gobsmacked to see it.”
