Gregor Paxton's the proudest man in Jedburgh today.

The 26-year-old led a cavalcade of almost 200 horses and riders round the town this morning.

But not before he let out the famous battle cry.

It's one of the highlights of the Jethart Callants Festival - which celebrates the history of the town - and a day the bricklayer says he's been building up to all his life.
