The Last Post at Freemasons Hall
Today at 11:00am UGLE will live stream on its Facebook channel the two-minute silence in front of the peace memorial at Freemasons’ Hall, with a bugler playing The Last Post in tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Dr David Staples, UGLE’s chief executive, said: “The history of Freemasons’ Hall is directly linked to the Great War. There were more than 3,000 Freemasons killed in action during WW1 and in honour of those members, Freemasons’ Hall was rebuilt as a peace memorial to all Freemasons’ who gave their lives for their country. This year, even in a difficult period, we have found a way to remember their ultimate sacrifice.”
The lead up to Armistice continues with the sun over Freemasons’ Hall. The rising sun is echoed within by the delicate light cast upon The Hero’s Poppy in honour of the 3,000 members who died during The Great War.
Lest we Forget.
