Repatriation.

Every serviceperson killed on operations overseas whose body is repatriated to England or Wales is the subject of an inquest. Currently, all repatriation is done through RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire. The local Town of Wotton Basset welcomes, our dead home, with many members of the local council and ex serviceman, they hold a parade, line the streets and stand with heads bowed out of respect.
