SERVING forces personnel in Ayr will be able to fill up with a free breakfast thanks to one supermarket chain this weekend.

As a thank you for their service, on Sunday, June 26 all serving armed forces personnel, around 159,000 regulars and 32,000 reservists, can present their MOD90 identification card at any Tesco café and get a free full cooked breakfast, vegan cooked breakfast, sausage bap or a bacon bap.

Rhys Little, chair of the Armed Forces Network at Tesco, said, "We've got a long history of getting behind those who have been in the forces.

"We've received the Gold award from the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme twice now (in 2016 and 2020), and we were also the first retailer to sign the Armed Forces Covenant in 2014. 

"We also do our best to give anyone leaving the army, Navy or RAF a chance to forge a new career."

Tesco stores across the UK will be holding a nationwide collection for Help for Heroes this weekend.

All 295 Tesco cafés across England, Scotland and Wales will be offering the promotion – limited to one free breakfast per cardholder.
