Dr Antony Cremona-Barbaro, as Knight of the Most Venerable Order of St John,
to which rank he was promoted by Queen Elizabeth II, Sovereign Head of the
Order.
The ceremony was conducted, on behalf of the
Queen, by the Grand Prior the Duke of Gloucester with the customary three
strokes of the sword on the left shoulder of the kneeling knight. The
ceremony, which is held once every four years, was this year enhanced by the
presence, among the recipients of honours, of former South African President
Nelson Mandela.
At the reception which followed in the Queen
Anne Room, the Duke spent some time conversing with some of the guests, among
whom the Marquis himself, who has served the Order as honorary secretary of
the Malta St John Council for 20 years.
The Marquis was also recently appointed Cavaliere dell'Ordine al Merito della Repubblica Italiana by the President of Italy motu proprio.
