Surprised no-one mentioned this today yet. BBC News - Wootton Bassett given Royal prefix by the Princess Royal I didn't go.
Saw some of the ceremony on the news, well deserved recognition for a special village and it's people.
i spent 7 or 8 years at raf lyneham, leaving in 93. I know WB well! Its the nearest town to Lyneham. Its a small town full of people with big hearts! a very unassuming town, no ayres or graces, they did what they felt was right. as a result this small rural town has earned its place in history, but more importantly in the hearts of the UK public.
