Climate emergency protesters of all ages have been singing with gusto in Melrose recently, prior to the silent vigils held there every Friday from 5-5.30pm. Vigils help keep the focus on Fridays for Future, to demand effective measures and lifestyle changes needed to combat climate change. They are being held each Friday by Extinction Rebellion Scottish Borders groups in Newtown, Hawick, Peebles, and Melrose. All are welcome to take part.
