Flag ceremony marks repatriations move to RAF Brize Norton
A ceremony has been held marking the relocation of UK military repatriations to RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.
Repatriations previously went through RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire, where residents of the nearby town of Wootton Bassett would line the streets.
Future corteges will now leave a new £2.8m repatriation centre at Brize Norton, near the town of Carterton, where a memorial garden has been built.
