THE Army Air Corps exercised their Freedom of Wincanton with a parade in the town on Thursday (February 23).
Scores of troops from 1 Regt AAC – based at nearby Yeovilton – lined the streets to acknowledged the town’s thanks for their service.
They were greeted by hundreds of people, many waving Union Flags, who braved the damp conditions to praise the soldiers.
Mayor of Wincanton, Cllr Howard Ellard, paid tribute to their work, while Rev Alison Way led those gathered in prayer.
The soldiers were inspected and three Army helicopters flew over the parade as the crowds looked on.
