Wootton Bassett: The Town That Remembers

[AndrewA123]

Just wondering did anyone else watch this last night?

A very informative, and moving look at how the town prepares and handles the repatriation of fallen soldiers.

i saw the last half hour, and after a half box of tissues i really should watch the beginning too.

I saw that. Very moving programme.

I intended to watch the Strangeways Prison programme. But caught a minute or so of the Wootton Bassett documentary and could not switch back.
It was fantastic what folks are doing every time a fallen hero comes back.
46 miles of respect all along the journey from RAF Lynham.

I also watched this and thought how moving it was, Excellent programme.

Same here. Great respect for these people.

it gets to me every time I see it on Sky News when the fallen are returned to their country, the respect that is shown from that small town is amazing.

They truly deserve being given the Royal title.

This gets me every time I see it

I caught bits of it. Really good programme. Almost a shame they're changing the RAF base.

I wonder what will happen when RAF Lyneham closes. It will be odd for it all to just stop. I didn't watch the programme by the way, just in case they mentioned it.
