Starting in Duns, a convoy of 54 trucks and five support vehicles wound its way along the region’s roads on Saturday, with crowds in Chirnside, Allanton, Paxton, Swinton, Leitholm, Greenlaw and Westruther turning out to give it a wave as it passed through towns and villages, which rang to the sounds of cheering spectators and honking horns.
The Covid-compliant event was organised to raise funds for The Margaret Kerr Unit and Macmillan Cancer Support (Borders Centre).
It aimed to raise a thousand pounds for the charities, but, with the final total, still to be announced, looks set to exceed £15,000.
