On Saturday, 28th September, the Grand Priory of the United Kingdom proudly welcomed nine new members into our Order during a memorable and solemn Investiture Ceremony held in Hampshire. This carefully planned and beautifully executed event brought together members and guests from near and far, creating a day filled with reverence, camaraderie, and celebration.
The ceremony was well attended, and we were honoured by the presence of the Grand Prior of Ukraine and his daughter, whose company added a special international dimension to the occasion. Following the Investiture, we gathered for a splendid gala dinner, where we had the opportunity to share fellowship and mark the day’s significance with warmth and joy.
This special event was also marked by important milestones within our Order. After many years of dedicated and exemplary service, HE Chevalier Harry Row retired as Hospitaller General. His contributions have been invaluable, and his steadfast commitment to the Order will leave a lasting legacy. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to him and wish him the very best in his future endeavours.
In addition, we celebrated the appointment of HE Chevalier Laurence Pisani as Deputy Grand Prior of the United Kingdom, recognising his tireless dedication within the Order.
This day was a true testament to the strength and unity of our Order, as we welcomed new members into our brotherhood and honoured those who have served with distinction. Congratulations to our new brothers and sisters, and heartfelt thanks to all who attended and contributed to making this day such a resounding success.
