You must have a very short memory.
ROYAL Wootton Bassett is located just north of Lyneham and was on the route from Lyneham to the M4 where many of the returning military personnel were taken after landing. The local people of Wootton Bassett took it on themselves to honour the returnees by route lining thus earning them the 'Royal' title.
