The Town That Honours
by Ian Forsyth on Feb.09, 2010, under Inspiration, Other
The north Wiltshire town of Wootton Bassett is now famous throughout the country and indeed the world for the respect it pays to military personnel killed during operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Following the repatriation services conducted at RAF Lyneham the cortege have passed through the town from the beginning and slowly the tradition, as it has now become, of lining the main street and looking on in silent respect has grown.
This multimedia piece shows images from a number of repatriations through the town and hears from residents and veterans who either live in Wootton Bassett or who travel, some for many miles, each and every time one occurs.
