A CHEEKY pigeon was among the passengers hopping onto the number 38 bus on Easter Sunday.

The bold bird leapt onto the bus in Worcester city centre and walked straight to the back, before taking a perch on the seat.

Passenger Debbie Collins, who was on her way to work at the time, said she was "very surprised" to spot the black-and-white pigeon – but found the whole thing hilarious.

The 45-year-old, who is from the Brickfields area of Worcester, said: "I saw the pigeon just hop on the bus, walk up to the back of the bus and hop on the seat like he was tame.

"Then it was just walking up and down the back seat for a couple of mins.

"Then a young girl got on and the pigeon just hopped off and walked to her. She almost stepped on it and then it just hopped down the front and got off.

"I was very surprised to see it, but i was the only one that saw it.

"I was on my way to work at the hospital from Worcester bus station – I thought it was very funny, and had to get a couple of photos. It made my day."
