THERE are many poignant moments filled with reverence at St Ronan’s Border Games Week – with the exception of Thursday, which is all about fun-filled frolics and fancy dress.

A whole host of characters and celebrities turned out for the Innerleithen’s Fancy Dress Parade which never fails to ignite the laughs and delight of spectators.

The elderly residents of the town proved they’re ‘Still Game’ for the festivities. And the beast from the classic Disney tale showed he isn’t so fierce as he toddled along the street with Belle.

Principal Guest Geraint Florida-James got on his bike for the parade, but kept his wheels firmly on the roads!

The genie from Aladdin brought a bit of magic to the evening and sea life from the Tweed came to the surface.

One of the town’s newest residents Jason Singh, literally popped his head out of his baby memory book. Devils arrived for a ‘Flamin guid Games’ as did Willy Wonka with his chocolate factory on wheels.

But it was the arrival of the newest Harry Potter phenomenon that drew gasps from the crowds – Harry Potter and the Cleikin o’ the De’il. The train derailed from Hogwarts to Innerleithen for the Games and picked up the Reid Meikle Memorial Trophy for the most deserving entry.
