TWEEDBANK Fair returned last week with a bang as the village paraded through the streets and residents donned their best fancy dress.
Fair Week kicked off with the Chris Doyle Festival of Football on Saturday, May 21, and ended on Saturday (May 28) with the fete and fun day.
On Wednesday, May 23 people from all over the village put their best foot forward and displayed some amazing fancy dress costumes.
There was royalty out in their recycled finery, wizards and witches visiting from Hogwarts and plenty of Mr Men and Little Misses.
Melrosian Douglas Crawford and his Right and Left Hand Men were called on to make the tough decisions as judges of the fancy dress and select their first, second and third place winners across seven categories.
