Wootton Bassett Holds Remembrance Sunday Parade

People gather to show their respects around the War Memorial during a Remembrance Parade along the High Street on November 8, 2009 in Wootton Bassett, England. For the last two years the people in the town of Wootton Bassett in Wiltshire have stopped to pay their respects to dead soldiers repatriated to nearby RAF Lyneham and driven through their town en route to the mortuary at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the start of the Second World War and today the country honours its veterans on Remembrance Sunday with the commemorations paying particular focus to the troops who have lost their lives in current conflicts. A British soldier from 2nd Battalion The Rifles, became the 200th British soldier to lose his life in combat in Afghanistan yesterday, bringing the total number of British losses, including accidents and illnesses, to 231.
