Sandra and I were pleased to accept an invitation from the Imperial Society of Knights Batchelor to their annual Service of Dedication at the Chapel of St. Faith in the Crypt of St. Paul’s Cathedral. A number of Livery Companies were invited and we were honoured to be among them.After a fanfare by the British State Trumpeters, the Sword, the Spurs and the Pennons, the three ancient symbols of knighthood, are carried in as part of the procession at the commencement of the service. Two anthems were included in the service that were beautifully sung by the small but nonetheless excellent choir. A very nice service during which a newly admitted Knight took his vows.
The service was followed by a reception at Apothecaries’ Hall which gave us a further opportunity to become acquainted with several more Masters and their Consorts.
