Lest We Forget - Biggleswade Freemasons support Remembrance Day Parade

On November 8th, 14 freemasons from Biggleswade proudly joined the annual Remembrance Day Parade and Service in our beloved town.

Seven of them were from our very own St Andrews Lodge!

The Biggleswade public turned out in droves, making it the largest turnout ever recorded. And guess what? The weather was absolutely perfect for both the parade through the town and the moving Service that followed.

Dan Beach, the W. Master of St. Andrew’s Lodge, Paul Balazy, the W. Master of Sandye Lodge, and Marcus Milicevic, a Master Mason who was just raised 3 days ago, laid a wreath on behalf of Biggleswade Freemasons, in what was a solemn and moving ceremony.

In a truly moving and thoughtful change to the usual format, children from local schools read the Roll of Honour for those from Biggleswade who gave their lives serving their country. It’s easy for us to take the sacrifices of others for granted, but giving the current generation the chance to understand just how many men and women have made the ultimate sacrifice was a truly thoughtful and judicious gesture.
