As every year since 1953, men and more recently women (we will remember last year’s 100% feminine Council in homage to Antoinette Spaak) participating in the influence of the city of five bell towers are inducted during a solemn ceremony. .
Thus, this Saturday, September 9, brotherhoods, corporations, enthroned Knights, families of future members and Tournaisians took place in the Queen’s Salon of the Town Hall for the 68th Council of the Knights of the Tower. A Council with a unique character since it also celebrated the 70th anniversary of the Brotherhood (two years missing due to the coronavirus), in correlation with the 90th anniversary of the first release of the giant Reine Tournai, created by Édouard Tréhoux.
It is also in his name that the brand new promotion was knighted by the Grand Master, Bernard Decléty. “It’s a completely equal promotion, since we welcome six ambassadors and six ambassadors”.
To make the tempting presentation, Bruno Delmotte and his famous “caramel tickets” painted the portrait of these Knights. new arrivals.
