A Moment of Peace

 Amongst all the pomp and ceremonial of a master’s year – plus the dinners – there is one moment of peace that I treasure. That is, representing the Company alongside 100 plus other masters at the beginning of November to lay a small cross in the Field of Remembrance at the memorial in St Paul’s Cathedral gardens. This was followed by two minutes silence and then dispersing, also in silence, back to the bustling City outside the railings.  On such simple and poignant occasions, as on the noisier ones, it was always an honour to represent the Fletchers.
