In this moving episode, Chris is joined by Joe Royle to explore the deep symbolism of the Vacant Chair ceremony, and how Freemasonry honours those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Together, they discuss the story of the Hall Stone Lodges, founded in the aftermath of the First World War to commemorate brethren who never returned, and the lasting legacy these lodges represent within our Craft.
Joe reflects on how remembrance continues to shape Freemasonry today—through ceremony, charity, and community—and why pausing to remember is as vital now as it was a century ago.
Join us for a poignant conversation on duty, memory, and brotherhood, as we tell the stories of the fallen and honour those whose light still shines among us.
