Coldstream has celebrated the biggest day of its civic week calendar with the traditional Flodden Day.
In a ceremony at the Market Square, Coldstreamer Stuart Robison received the Home colours from the Earl of Home.
The event marked the Earl's ancestors' role in leading the Borders into battle at Flodden Field in 1513.
More than 300 horses and riders took part in the cavalcade to the site of the battle on Thursday and a ceremony was held to commemorate those who died.
The Battle of Flodden was fought in Northumberland between the invading Scots army of King James IV and an English army commanded by Thomas Howard, Earl of Surrey.
It ended in defeat for the Scottish forces with about 10,000 lives lost, including that of the King himself.
English casualties are estimated to have been between 1,500 and 4,000.
It is this conflict - in which many Borderers lost their lives - which is now marked in Coldstream every year.
