A GROUP who dressed as Jimmy Savile and schoolgirls on a festival float have apoligised if they caused offence.
The float appeared last week at the annual Lauder Common Riding Festival in the Borders.
South of Scotland MSP Christine Grahame, above, said the float was in "plain bad taste".
The group who entered the float said they recognised they had made a serious error of judgement.
They said they had not meant to cause offence.
