2012 Ride of Respect at Wootton Bassett

Sunday 18th March 2012, the day of the last 'Ride of Respect'.

For the past 3 years bikers from all over the country and made the trip to Hullavington Airfield, where they started their ride.  They were here to show their respect and support for all the military personnel who have served our country, and especially for those who lost their lives.  The bodies of killed servicemen have always in the past been flown into RAF Lyneham and then driven through the town of Wootton Bassett, who became Royal Wootton Bassett as a mark of the attitude the town towards the these dead soldiers while they make their final trip home.

There were approximately 8000 bikers in attendance, with many an old soldier visible, and it was a very moving experience for all.

There were so many in attendance that they had to go out in waves of 700 bikes, there were at least 4 waves in total, with another for the organising staff at the end.

It has been said that this will be the last event, but we would suggest you 'watch this space' you never know what the future will bring.

Here are just a very small example of the photos taken on the day.

The Value of Memories

With todays ever changing financial and emotional circumstances the value of memories has never been more important.
Businesses can be incredibly short lived, while others survive and thrive for decades before fortune abandons them and they are forced to close their doors.  In some cases a business has been in a family for generations, but the new generation does not want to follow in the same foot steps and so walked away, leaving this historical legacy abandoned.  And it is remarkable how quickly the lives of those that have gone before us fade and are forgotten.
Now is the time, whether you have been established for decades or have only just set up, to make a photographic record of all your efforts.  Enshrine within a photo story book this moment in time for all your descendants, no matter how far down the line, to look back on the path of their forbearers which lead to their birth and has influences not only their looks but also their personalities.  We can also recopy existing history photographs into the book, to extend the time line even further if required.  We can also provide a text narrative, recording names and dates of interest so that they are never forgotten and can form part of your family history.
Lets not forget all the loves we will find and lose along our life path, even the bad memories should be recorded so that nothing is forgotten and lessens learnt can be passed on to this that come after you.
And lets not forget, we are all going to get old, so wouldn't it be a great thing to be able to look back on our lives and relive those cherished moments when ever we want to.
It is surprisingly affordable to have this record made in any number of book formats, along with DVD Photo Slide Shows which can be watched by all the family time and time again.
Don't wast any more time and lets start the process today.  Contact us now for full details.  We will be happy to meet and discuss all your requirements and present all the options open to you.
