On October 17th, members of Felicity Lodge gathered to honour the life of Bro Paul Hilton, who was called to the Grand Lodge above far too soon, leaving behind a loving wife and a young child.

The farewell began at Paul’s cherished Radcliffe Football Club, which held many memories for him. As the procession made its way to the church, it was clear how deeply Paul was loved; between 300 and 400 people from all walks of life came together to pay their respects and celebrate his life.

A true enthusiast, Paul’s fondness for Range Rovers was beautifully reflected in the choice of a Land Rover Defender for his hearse, a fitting tribute to a man who embraced life with passion and joy.

Paul’s legacy will live on in the hearts of those he touched, a testament to his impact on his community and the enduring love of his family.

From all of us at Manchester Masons may we offer our deepest condolences.
