Event Information
About this Event
Join Elizabeth Roads on Saturday 5th December over Zoom at 11am for a fascinating talk on The Order and Chapel of the Thistle.
The Chapel, which is part of St Giles Cathedral, was built in 1911 to provide the first spiritual home of the Order. The Knights of the Thistle usually meet for worship in the Thistle Chapel every other year at the installation of new Knights by the monarch. They also meet annually on the Sunday nearest Saint Andrew's Day: this service was inaugurated by George V.
Elizabeth Roads LVO FSA is Secretary of the Order of the Thistle and has been closely involved in the Order since 1975 becoming Assistant Secretary in 2008 and Secretary in 2014.
