A very moving Thanksgiving Service for Past Master, Sir
Anthony Wilson, was held in the beautiful Sherborne Abbey on Monday, April 30.
The Abbey was packed, an indication of how much he was loved and how many lives
he had touched during his life. John and
I attended with a number of his friends from the Needlemakers.
He was a man of great integrity and charm and gave
generously of his time and energy to everyone.
He will be remembered by his friends in the Needlemakers as a valued and
loved member of the Court and by future generations of Needlemakers for the
bursary, which he was instrumental in starting, for a chorister at St Pauls’
Choir School every year. The bursary is
awarded anonymously to a chorister in need but the beautiful medallion, which
Tony so generously presented, is awarded on merit and worn by the winner for
the year.
