I have traveled the traumatic road of Wootton Bassett after a repatriation. I also have the priviledge of knowing the people of this area and I honestly feel that their respect and feelings for the hero's that pass through their town needs no more than acknowledgment for a community honouring their dead. I know many who live there, they genuinely feel sorrow and pride for the fallen. This pride has already been respected by RAF Lyneham - does it need more? I doubt they want it, this pride was displayed freely and with humility. Nothing in the world can top that. Whilst I know that others feel it needs recognising, the fact that people of this country are aware and may take their actions as an example should be acknowledgment enough. My man loved this area, he would have felt that his family were there for him - is there need for more?
