THE Selkirk Incorporation of Fleshers held its annual pre-Common Riding outing to Lilliesleaf on Saturday, when over 50 members and guests travelled to the village to support 2018 Fleshers Standard Bearer Jackie Johnston.
Accompanied by Selkirk Silver Band cornet player Stuart Kemp, Standard Bearer Johnston cast the Incorporation’s flag in fine style and was followed by the Fleshers’ silver jubilee Standard Bearer, Alan Linton.
Deacon Robert Black proposed the toast to the 2018 Standard Bearer, while no fewer than four of Jackie’s fellow Standard Bearers made the trip to Lilliesleaf to support him – Mark Easson (Hammermen), Michael Pepper (Weavers), Stuart Davidson (Merchants) and Martin Young (Ex-Soldiers).
