Blackpool pays respect to the Fallen |
|
 |
|
| On a wet and windy day at Blackpool, the Cenotaph was the place for a large turnout of local Masons and their wives, to remember those lost in conflict. | |
 |
|
| Of course, our PGM Keith Beardmore was there, with his Deputy Giles Berkley, accompanied by a good number of Mark men and their ladies. The weather did not dampen the respectful atmosphere, with a wonderful March of Forces personnel taking place, accompanied by Masonic and Civil members. | |
 |
|
| The release of the white doves of peace after the two minutes of silence was a real highlight, for which the rain temporarily halted. | |
 |
|
| We were very happy to be joined by Steve Jelly, our Group Chairman, Bob Marsden, our new Group VC, and of course Michael Tax was there holding a banner as ever, our new Assistant Provincial Grand Master in the Craft. | |
