Due to illness and hospitalisation, 83 year-old W Bro Jim Ramsbottom of the Lodge of St Andrew No 4683 in Hull was unable to attend the Provincial meeting in May, and missed out on his investiture as Past Provincial Assistant Grand Standard Bearer.

Six months later, and Jim is only now on the road to recovery.  In great secrecy and with the full collusion of Jim's wife Jennifer, The Provincial Grand Master Dr David Chambers, together with Provincial Secretary Bill Glanville and brethren from St Andrew Lodge visited Jim at home to invest him with his Provincial Honour and  certificate.

Jim was surprised and delighted to receive his brethren and was very touched by their kindness and warm good wishes.  Jim now sports his new regalia with great pride and is looking forward to being fit enough to resume his Freemasonry in the future.
