Former Scotland rugby star and charity fundraiser Doddie Weir is being remembered at a memorial service in the Borders today.

Hundreds are set to gather at Melrose Parish Church on Monday at 1pm today, with the service being relayed by audio to the town’s rugby club, where Weir won three Scottish titles in the early 1990s.

Mourners have been asked to wear any tartan in tribute to Weir. The service is also being streamed live on the official Scottish Rugby website and that of his own charity.

The former Scotland and British & Irish Lions international died aged 52 in November after a six-year battle with motor neurone disease (MND).
