Common Riding 2026: Colonial Standard Bearer
The Selkirk Colonial Society has announced a historic appointment for 2026, selecting Frances Clementine Anderson of San Francisco as its first female Colonial Standard Bearer.
Frances is the great-great-granddaughter of Robert Anderson, known locally as “Honolulu Bob”, who was born in Selkirk in 1875 and was one of the founders of the Selkirk Colonial Society.
Continuing the family connection, Frances’s brother, Dashiell, will Buss the Society flag for his sister on 10 June 2026.
The Selkirk Colonial Society extends its very best wishes to both Frances and Dashiell for their big year ahead!
