Dozens of strangers attended the funeral of a troubled British army veteran who was a regular sight in his home town where he was seen selling poppies every year.
It had been feared nobody would attend the funeral of Stewart Kingdom, 54, after the coroner was unable to find any relative to let them know of his passing.
The Crewkerne branch of the Royal British Legion in Somerset then began an appeal to try and get people to pay their respects.
Dozens of strangers attended the funeral of an Army veteran who sold poppies for years until he decided to take his own life
The campaign gathered momentum, reaching not only those from Somerset but also far beyond.
On Friday former friends, ex-servicemen and Yeovil MP Marcus Fysh flocked to Yeovil Crematorium to pay their respects to the army veteran who is believed to have taken his own life.
Stewart served in tours of Northern Ireland, and he also served in the Falklands campaign of 1982 and the first Gulf war in 1991.

But after he left the army in 1997, his life "seemed to be one tragedy after another".
His father died in hospital during a routine operation in 1997 and his mother was so distraught by his father's death, she took her own life the very same day.
On the day of his mother and father's funeral his sister was killed in a road accident.

A few years later he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and PTSD which caused the eventual breakdown of his marriage.
His battle with Parkinson's became so extreme he had to be fitted with an electronic implant inserted into his brain several years ago.
He spent the remainder of his years of his life standing at local Poppy Appeal stalls in Yeovil until 'life was no longer worth living'.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
