Thank you for your kind comments. In the short time the video has been on 'Youtube' and Facebook 'Causes' we have had over 170,000 hits and many many comments like yours. It would be great if a major took it on and we will keep trying.

Thanks again. P.L. Producer

I am sure that this video not only covers the soldiers repatriated from Afghanistan but also those where ever the British Forces are fighting?

[cooljazzer]

You are right. It is for all the fallen where ever they are.

[Karvindon]

I think it should be called Royal Wootton Bassett.

[alanpettifer]

If only I'd had the BBC behind this song: how much would it have made for the charity? The mind boggles.

Today, you will see the union flag lowered for the last time....345 men and women have passed through your town in the last four years. Each time you stood respectfully silent alongside the families and friends in their moment of loss.To the people of Wootton Bassett -Thank you! You have done Britain and its fallen proud!! It's nice to know that later on in the year, your town will be the first time a town has been honoured for a collective action and will be called Royal Wootton Bassett. xxx
