Until 2012 our recently fallen were returned via RAF Lyneham with full miltary honours in public view, the funeral then proceeded through the near by Village of Wootton Bassett.
Spontainously over the years this grew into large gathering honouring the dead.
The video at the top of this page, is one of the last through that village as the base closed shortly after.

The village was later honoured by HM the Queen with the Appelation "Royal Wootton Bassett" to thank the people of the village..
LEST WE FORGET.
