The 51st Earlston Civic Week was a great success, organisers said.

Danielle Denham, secretary of the Civic Week committee, said: “Earlston had a wonderful week of events that as usual was supported fantastically by the locals.

"We started our week with a busy church service, a well-supported football event and car treasure hunt, a ramble, a dog show judged by Borders Pet Rescue, Hilly’s Bonkers Bingo and a performance by the Jockuleles.
