DOUBLE world champ[ion Samantha Kinghorn raced into Duns this week to officially open the town's new primary school.

The celebrations took place at the school on Monday when invited guests, pupils and staff gathered to watch the Paralympian from Gordon and pupils Maddie Rosher and Jesse Adeosun, unveil a plaque.

Maddie and Jesse are also keen on sports, including running, swimming and football.

And they were delighted to be asked to represent their school by taking a leading role in the proceedings.

Guests were given the chance to view a tapestry that has been specially created in honour of the occasion.

And the school choir provided plenty musical entertainment.
