It doesn't mention it there, BUT the first reports of this, stated knives were being used, hence the armed plod.

In light of recent events does it really matter that armed police were on the scene?

Did the guy who died have any connections to Wiltshire then?

Then why would it take place in Wiltshire? Long way to go for a funeral for someone from Ely.

It was a gypsy funeral they were travelling/gypsy boys fighting. Was quite violent by all accounts.

Got an old schoolmate from Calne, Wiltshire. A softly spoken lad who'd happily sit quietly in a corner of a pub to have a pint.

I saw him fight once. I say 'fight' I mean 'deal with the situation swiftly'. I thought he and most probably we, were due a tuning. I was just glad he was on our side.

All that cow tipping makes a man strong.
