BEFORE the first boule was thrown at this year's Sherston Boules and Carnival, a moving tribute was made to those that lost their lives in Nice during the terror attack.
Players and residents clanged their boules together in time with one another, in a sign of solidarity.
The event was celebrating its 30th anniversary, after it was originally started by the village’s vicar, who took on a French team at a game of Boules in Gien, Malmesbury’s twinned town, before inviting them to Sherston for a return leg.
In celebration of the anniversary, French teams made the trip across the Channel this year.
