A service to celebrate the life of Doddie Weir has been arranged to take place before Christmas, with Scots asked to wear tartan at the memorial event.
The rugby legend died at the age of 52 last week after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) in 2017. The former Scotland international spent his final years campaigning and fundraising for MND - and his charity, the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation, said a memorial will take place at Melrose Parish Church, in Roxburghshire, on Monday December 19 at 1pm.
Organisers have asked people to wear any form of tartan at the service 'as requested by Doddie'. The charity advised numbers at the church service will be restricted but all are welcome to watch a live stream of the memorial held at Melrose Rugby Club.
