ON Remembrance Sunday my family and I, along with scores of other local people, went to the war memorial in Chippenham to pay our silent tribute.

At 11am when St Andrew's Church clock started to strike everyone bowed their heads for the two minutes silence.

Imagine our horror when we realised the traffic was being allowed to continue to flow through the market place in spite of police presence.

Can the relevant authorities ensure that this will not reoccur?

On another point, can the church service start at 10am, which would allow the congregation to join the silent tribute at the correct hour of 11am at the memorial?
