Tributes have poured in from across Northumberland following the death of rugby legend Doddie Weir.
The former Scotland lock, who played for Newcastle Falcons between 1995 and 2002, died on Saturday, November 26 from motor neurone disease (MND).
Doddie was diagnosed with the incurable condition in 2017, and campaigned passionately through his foundation "My Name'5 Doddie" to fund research into a cure for the disease and provide grants to people living with the condition. As of June, the foundation had raised £8m for MND research.
