A few more photos from yesterday’s Freemasons’ Service of Remembrance. Without a shadow of a doubt, the @RBLgardens are one of the most beautiful and equally moving places I’ve ever visited. The autumn sunshine was simply the icing on the cake. @UGLE_GrandLodge @WorcsMasons

I was immensely proud to attend the Freemasons’ National Service of Remembrance today. A deeply moving and special occasion, made even more memorable by catching up with so many friends from across the country. Lest we forget. @RBLgardens @UGLE_GrandLodge @WorcsMasons

Last year, I had the privilege of filming at Freemasons’ Service of Remembrance for Solomon Live. This Saturday, I’m proud that my wife will be joining me to witness this very special act of remembrance. Lest we forget. @WorcsMasons @DerbysFreemason @UGLE_GrandLodge
Yesterday, in appalling weather, Widows Sons from across the country delivered memorial wreaths from the UGLE Provinces to the leaders of Derbyshire Freemasons at the National Memorial Arboretum, ready for the Service of Remembrance on 31st October. We will remember them.

For me, the most natural conversations about Freemasonry are the best. I was chatting to a friend who isn’t a Mason about why I love it: the history, traditions, positive messages, escape from everyday noise and, honestly, the fun! No pitch. Just a genuine chat from the heart.

Just back home after a triple initiation evening at Alma Mater Lodge at Severn Street in Birmingham. The night was soooo much fun and I’ve never seen so many light blues in a lodge room! @WarksFreemasons @WorcsMasons @UGLE_GrandLodge

Another special Installation today, this time at St George, in Kings Heath. I think these photos capture why I love Freemasonry so much. @WorcsMasons @UGLE_GrandLodge

Saturday's Installation meeting of Worcestershire Installed Masters was a joy. @StephenWyer, Head of Worcestershire Freemasons, installed his successor Barry Griffin impeccably, and the packed Festive Board had its usual energy and buzz. @WorcsMasons @UGLE_GrandLodge

Attending Installations as Provincial Senior Warden is very special. Attending my own Lodge's Installation last night as Provincial Senior Warden was priceless. @WorcsMasons @UGLE_GrandLodge

What a great morning & afternoon at the Lodge of Desired Haven Installation meeting. Despite the photo, this is our real ale lodge! 😂 I did have a pint of the good stuff at the Festive Board. A perfect day of Freemasonry! @WorcsMasons @UGLE_GrandLodge

One of the proudest moments of my life was receiving my Grand Pursuivant collar from HRH The Duke of Kent and a year later opening & closing Grand Lodge with him at the Annual Investiture. We can never repay him for the amazing support he has given Freemasonry. Happy Birthday.
On behalf of our members, we would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to the Grand Master, HRH The Duke of Kent KG 🎂 #Freemasons

Last night I had such a great time as Provincial Senior Warden at the Thistle Lodge Installation. A proper Scottish evening of fun and fellowship. Here’s a short video of our entrance into the Festive Board, complete with drummer! @WorcsMasons @UGLE_GrandLodge

Looking back at last week’s, Permanent Way Lodge, Banner Dedication. A ‘very’ special night and only eight years after the Lodge was consecrated! @WorcsMasons @UGLE_GrandLodge
