This past week has become the end of something special not often seen
where small group of people got together
to remember the brave and the few
who gave there lives for our country
serving us too
they started as small group of friends
all from the Royal british legion
who came together to mark their respect and pay tribute
to our brave servicemen men and women
as they flew into RAF Lyneham
on their way home too
they passed through the wonderful town
of Wooten basset
where as their hearses gathered
and got ready for their final journey
home where there bodies
will rest and be remembered too
these wonderful people
of Wooten basset took time out of their day
to line the streets in numbers
with the family’s of the dead servicemen and women
as they passed their way
they stood to attention and saluted them
with pride they showed us something
special as their numbers grew
untill they became hundreds and drew in the media too
the local pub opened its doors to families of dead men and women
and made them welcome too
to the people of Wooten basset
are thanks goes out too you
hold your heads up with pride
you are truly kind
and very special people too
so this is from an ex serviceman
with great respect i pay tribute to you.
