Beltane Queen, First Courier and members of the Court announced

The final pieces fell into place this afternoon when the Beltane Queen, First Courier and members of the Court were announced at the Drill Hall.

P6 and P7 children from the three primary schools in the town gathered in the hall at 2.15pm where the announcements were made, before they were each introduced to the public outside the hall afterwards.

Once announced, and the traditional photo taken, pipers led the children along the High Street before arriving at Tweed Green for ice cream.
