Two new members were also Invested on this occasion and we are delighted to have them join us to complete three Investitures in the last twelve months, in spite of the Covid-19 restrictions.

INVESTITURE AT NEWPORT CATHEDRAL
Some of those attendng
The Setting
Remembering the late Chevalier Richard
The stand displayed Richard's photograph taken at his last appearance on duty at our Investiture in October 2021 at Hereford Cathedral, with the Grand Master's brevet
appointing Richard to the rank of Knight Grand Cross.
Alongside is an empty sword scabbard to symbolise the conclusion of this Knight's pilgrimage.
The knights are dust,
Their swords are rust.
They're with the Lord
We trust.
