What a very moving day it has been for the people of Wootton Bassett and those of us that managed to witness the repatriation of the 8 recently deceased solders.
What a sad sight to see those 8 hearses as they travelled from RAF Lyneham through Wootton Bassett up to Oxford.
It’s obvious from what is going on in Afghanistan, that this will not be the last time we see such sights, but lets hope there are not so many at once next time.
Finally, its staggering to me that not a single politician bothered to turn up to this or any of the other repatriations that have taken place in the previous years, seems that it only adds credence to the statement that they seem not to care what is happening to our service personal.
