Sadly, having been one of the family members being driven through the streets of Wootoon Bassett after a repatriation I wholeheartedly agreee there should be some sort of recognition for the people of the town. There are no words that can express being met with the unexpected sight of all the people lining the streets, showing their respect and sharing in your pain, especially after having realised that all you have left is a box and not someone to hold, you can feel incredibly lonely....and then you come into Wootoon Bassett and are blown away by the solidarity. I know I will never forget the sight for as long as I live, and will speak for many years to come about the wonderful people in Wiltshire. At times I have felt redunant in being able to initiate a suitable way to express my thanks and respect to the people of the town and I for one think this is perfect.I for one will never forget you..
