Jebburgh Callant Festival

The Jedburgh Callant lowers the flag after laying a wreath at the War Memorial as a lone piper plays the lament "The Floo'ers o' the Forest". A poignant moment for the young lad and the crowd. A minute's silence is observed as the 'Last Post' draws the ceremony to a close.

The Jedburgh Festival is one of many in the towns of the Scottish Borders many of which commemorate the Battle of Flodden five hundred years ago. almost 300 riders took part in today's Jedburgh event, riding the marches and back to the town.
