    Is it the name of a town?

    I read the article... it felt like I had to know more going in to understand fully.

    Bless them all. It lifts the spirits to know that people can collectively act in such a dignified, respectful manner, completely unbidden.

    Yes Mike, it's a small market town in Wiltshire.
     
    Until recently, members of the armed forces who'd lost their lives in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan were repatriated at nearby RAF Lyneham. They were then taken by funeral cortege to the coroner in a hospital in Oxford and the route took the corteges through the village.
     
    The local residents of the town spontaneously began to line the route to pay their respects to the fallen.
     
    RAF Lyneham was closed last month, but the actions of the people of Wootton Bassett have been acknowledged with the addition of the prefix 'Royal' to the name of the village.

    It's always had a close link with the forces, and it's a very strong and compassionate community as a result.

    I'm glad it has recieved this recognition.

    Why did they close the base?
