Thomas Block, the Knight Fra. Yves Senden, the Postulant Fra. Matthias Herber and the Observer Sor. Anja Glissmann, to the invitation from the Chevaliers de France.

The Knight Fra. Jean-Pol Hanard, and spouse Christine, joined the Bels's lineage delegation as well. 

We have no pictures of the ceremony.

The Magisterial sword is that of the late Mgr. Baron Fra. André Louis Saumier d'Albis, of whom our Mgr. Fra. Roland is the noble heir. Fra. André was appointed Chevalier d'Honneur Ordinis Balliolensis in Kortrijk (Flanders) in 1995, by Fra. Robert Adelsohn Bels, with SE. Ignace Bailleul (former Ambassador of the Order) as witness.
