PEOPLE of all ages enjoyed taking part in the annual Peebles Beltane Festival fancy dress parade.

The town came out in force last week to welcome the return of the Beltane fancy dress parade.

A wonderful array of costumes were on display on Tweed Green before the procession moved to the High Street – from Royals to Barbie dolls.

As the night before Red Letter Day, there was no shortage of joy and excitement in the town.
