Colourful end to hugely successful Earlston Civic Week

With over 100 scarecrows helping to set the scene, the village became a hive of activity with many events enjoying record entries and turn-outs.

The opening weekend's pub games, football, ramble and treasure hunt led onto a packed seven days of fun and adventure.

And it all concluded with Saturday's terrific fancy dress parade and sports afternoon on the Rugby Ground.

More than 1,000 turned out for the Torchlit Parade and fireworks during the evening evening.

And almost as many boogied the final night away in the grand marquee.

But there can only be a few winners, despite the magnificent effort from so many... and here they are.
