Portsmouth and Southsea Hebrew Congregation hosted a Service of Thanksgiving. The 200 guests included members of the Provincial Grand Chapter of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Royal Arch Freemasons. The service had been the idea of synagogue warden Tony Cooper, who recently became a companion of Royal Arch, and synagogue co-treasurers Alan Berman and Laurence Guyer, who both hold senior provincial rank in Royal Arch.
