SUMMARY:VE Day 80th Anniversary Service of Thanksgiving
DESCRIPTION:The three provinces of Devonshire\, Cornwall and Somerset are coming together to hold service of thanksgiving to mark the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. \nVE Day marked the surrender of Nazi Germany and the end of hostilities in Europe that were part of World War 2. During that period\, many Freemasons lost their lives and an even greater number were impacted in so many ways. The Provincial Grand Masters of Devonshire\, Cornwall and Somerset wanted to mark this occasion and will do so with a special Evensong service at Exeter Cathedral. \nThe service is made even more special by the request that brethren wear regalia to the service\, or their service uniform and medals if so desired. This will make for a spectacular sight. Many lodges will also be parading their banners into the cathedral. \nThe event is not ticketed and is open to partners or family members to attend as well. Brethren bringing regalia should bring a soft bag rather than cases as their will be no space for robing or storing anything before or during the service. \nEvensong will begin at 5:30pm on Thursday 8th May 2025\, and brethren are asked to take their seats before that so that the parading of banners and dignitaries can begin. The service should take about an hour. It is expected that\, as well as the 3 provincial groups\, we will be joined by the Lord Lieutenant of Devon and others for the service. During the service\, the names of fallen brethren from each of the 3 provinces will be read out and there will be a last post and a piper’s lament to mark their sacrifice \nFurther details will be circulated to all brethren so please make sure you check your inbox and that your email address is up to date using your Portal account. For any further information please contact the Provincial Office.
