A retired teacher is using her free bus pass travel to take herself on a personal crusade to pick up litter across the UK.

Ruth Major, 79, from Redruth, Cornwall, was inspired by a campaign in France to pick up one piece of litter a day and has since collected about 100,000 pieces of rubbish.

In July and August, she used her senior bus pass to travel on 59 buses from Redruth to Berwick upon Tweed.

Along the way she visited many towns and cities, including Weymouth, Southampton, Derby, Sheffield, Scarborough and Newcastle.
