Another Sad & Sombre Day in Wootton Bassett
When I hear a C17 heavy cargo plane go over my house on it’s approach to RAF Lyneham, I know only to well that it probably means another repatriation cortege proceeding down Wootton Bassett’s High Street. So it was today…

Sombre Scene - Another Repatriation Cortege

Paused for a moments reflection...
As on previous occasions, emotions ran high this afternoon and as the Church bells sounded, flags were dipped and many tears were shed. How many more of these corteges will pass down our High Street?

I had wondered whether you’d go up to the High Street. It must be quite an emotional scene. I feel quite emotional whenever I see it on the news.
It almost seems wrong to say “Great pic”, but it is.
Very emotional indeed. Post has been updated with a second image with which I try to emphasise the cause they gave their lives for.
There is another repatriation this Friday (21st) afternoon…
