Following on from Sandy's good thread, Wooten Basset, we salute you and thank youk you

[Bobbisox]

As this little unassuming town has taken its last repatriation, I salute all of the people living there who have turned out to see our boys and girls come home these people have acted with dignity and sincerity at oh so many repatriations
Thank you Wooten Basset

[paddywak]

They did well, didn't they?

[Bobbisox]

Yes Padds they did, I remember they said they did not want recognition of any kind , such is the type of people we see all too regularly, sadly

[sandyRoe]

I think we saw on display there the very best side of the British character.

[Bobbisox]

I totally agree sandy, pitt these dignified townspeople against the hoodlums and the looters...no contest!!!

[rsvp]

totally agree Bobbisox - character and dignity are lacking in some areas today but Wooten Basset has those qualities in abundance.

[Bobbisox]

they certainly have, even in the face of the hate filled mob who mocked our dead coming home, they stood together with simlpe dignity

[Bobbisox]

Bobbiesox, soon they will become Royal Wootton Bassett, a deserved honour.
Well done.

[paddywak]

On Breakfast they've got the father of one of the boys who came back through Wootten Basset and he was quite emotional when he was trying to describe his feelings and how he still feels about the fact that so many ordinary people acted as they did in what was originally a spontaneous manner.

[Frank97]

Maximum respect to those people of Wooton Basset! It brings a lump to my throat every time I see one of those repatriations.

[Bobbisox]

excellent em, they deserve this

[notasyoungasiwas]

Wonderful place and wonderful people. They deserve the 'Royal' title.

[moonraker558]

Wiltshire people are proud and honoured to have been able to pay our respects to brave service personel. Now it is the turn of Brize Norton and Oxford to carry on.

[emmie]

Moonraker it is, and i'm sure that those people will keep the servicemen and women in their prayers, and thoughts.

agree with everything said lets hope problems in war areas soon solved no need for repatriations
