Doddie Weir memorial as Scottish rugby legend to be honoured at service today

Rugby legend Doddie Weir will be remembered in a memorial service today.

Hundreds are set to travel to Melrose Parish Church Borders to pay their respects to the late Scotland star. The service, held at 1pm on Monday, December 19, will be relayed by audio to the town's rugby club where Doddie won three Scottish titles in the early 1990s. Mourners have been urged to wear something tartan in tribute.

The service is also being streamed live on the official Scottish Rugby website and that of Weir's own charity - My Name'5 Doddie - to allow fans and supporters to pay their respects, reports The Daily Record.
