Updated on 12 October 2008

By Julian Rush

Julian Rush reports on the armed forces big thank you to a town that has turned out en masse to honour the military dead over a hundred times.

The people of Wootton Bassett have lined the streets more than a hundred times to honour British service personnel killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
