On 23rd May 2026 at Freemasons' Hall, the members and guests of Rising Star Lodge No 6153 gathered for an Initiation ceremony, skilfully and sincerely delivered by Worshipful Master W Bro Wadeley Newell, and for the presentation of a Long Service Certificate to W Bro Keith Gregory-Parry, PAGDC.
W Bro Keith has made a long standing and significant contribution towards London Masonry over at least the last 15 years. VW Bro Tony Shepherd, Assistant Metropolitan Grand Master was particularly delighted to present W Bro Keith with his 50-Year Certificate, as he had served as a highly effective Visiting Officer within VW Bro Tony’s former Inspectorate.
A splendid celebratory lunch was thoroughly enjoyed at the Grand Connaught Rooms. The Escorting team for VW Bro Tony comprised of W Bro Russell Gayler, Metropolitan Grand Standard Bearer, and W Bros Dylan Grevatt and Andrew Porter, Metropolitan Grand Stewards.
