The Annual Investiture Meeting of the District Grand Lodge of Gibraltar last night saw a visit by our Grand Inspector, Pierre Caeiro. He was supported by a delegation of Portugal lodge members.
Having formally and individually processed into Lodge, Pierre was welcomed by the Derek Tilbury, Gibraltar District Grand Master as the visiting dignitary from Portugal.
Later, in his address to the meeting, Derek remarked that he had been particularly honoured to be asked by the UGLE Pro Grand Master to invest Pierre as Grand Inspector earlier in the year. That investiture in Portugal has clearly created a renewal in the relationship between Portugal and Gibraltar, evidenced by the large delegation here today.
As an aside, the seven wives and partners accompanying Pierre’s ‘posse’ enjoyed a wonderful evening together at a lovely restaurant just over the border in Spain.
The Gibraltar District Grand Master, the , Deputy Grand Master and the District Grand secretary were presented certificates on being elected as honorary members of Lodge of Discoveries in Lagos.
Pierre was wearing his newly refurbished chain of office.
