Mourners gather for Doddie Weir memorial service in Melrose
Weir died aged 52 last month following a six-year battle with motor neurone disease.
Mourners from the world of rugby union and beyond gathered for a memorial service for former Scotland international and charity fundraiser Doddie Weir.
The service was held on Monday at Melrose Parish Church, which overlooks the town’s rugby club, where Weir won three Scottish titles in the early 1990s.
Former Scotland players including John Jeffrey, Rob Wainwright, Gavin Hastings, Kenny Logan and Kelly Brown were among those arriving ahead of the service.
Logan’s wife, TV presenter Gabby Logan, and multiple Olympic gold medal-winning cyclist Sir Chris Hoy were also in attendance.
Weir died aged 52 last month following a six-year battle with motor neurone disease (MND).
Attendees were asked to wear Tartan in tribute to Weir, who helped design his own pattern for his charity.
An array of colours were on show with mourners wearing the likes of Tartan scarves, shawls, trousers, kilts and suits.
