A Lemon Common Riding

My good friend Lennie Bell came over specially to welcome Carlo & Sidne Lemon. This is his 62nd year in the Pipe Band as a Drummer

Wattie's daughter Alison sits on his knee for the first time in many years with Jean looking on in the background in our Sitooterie when the Cornet and horsemen were up the hill.

A chance to be photographed with the Crown at the end of a perfect day. Carlo & Sidne were completely overwhelmed by the number of people in the town for the Common Riding and also with the huge number of people who stopped to speak to them, especially to ask if their lost bags had arrived yet. I am pleased to say they arrived at 5.00pm that day.
