Cleethorpes Freemasons continue remembrance tradition

Cleethorpes Freemasons once again laid a wreath at the Remembrance Service held at St Peter’s Church, St Peter’s Avenue, Cleethorpes, writes Stewart Oxborough.

The five Cleethorpes Lodges take it in turn to lay the wreath and this year it was, by a happy coincidence,  St Peter Lodge No:7648 and its Worshipful Master Graeme Dalby, doing the honours.

This was the ninth year we have done this as Freemasons, and it is also done by the Grimsby Freemasons.

I purchase both wreaths from the Lady Haig Poppy Factory in Scotland, which has an historic link with Cleethorpes and Grimsby Freemasons and all Freemasons in Lincolnshire. Lord Worsley Lodge is named after the son of the 4th Earl of Yarborough – our first Worshipful Master and, of course, Provincial Grand Master from 1895-1936. Lord Worsley married Earl & Lady Haigh’s neice shortly before he was killed on 30th October 2014 in Belgium.
