The annual festivities proved a hit with locals as hundreds gathered to celebrate the village’s strong community spirit. Highlights included the football fun day, junior bridge night, the investiture-day visit from the Galashiels Braw Lad and Lass, kids’ disco, family dance and the fruit and flower parade. The fancy dress parade, led by Melrose Pipes and Drums, was hailed a particular success.
