On June 27 the United Grand Ledge of England celebrated the 250th anniversary of its foundation by installing H.R.H. the Duke of Kent at a glittering ceremony in the Albert Hall, London, attended by Grand Masters, Provincial Grand Masters and District Grand Masters from all parts of the English-speaking world.
The ceremony was performed by the retiring Grand Master, the Earl of Scarborough. The Duke of Kent is the tenth Grand Master since the formation of the United Grand Lodge in 1813.
His father, H.R.H. George, Duke of Kent. was Grand Master from 1939-1942, when he was killed in an air crash. Three Dukes of Kent have been Grand Master.
The first was Edward, the last Grand Master of the Antient Grand Lodge and who subsequently nominated his brother the Duke of Sussex as the first Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge.
