Fra Andrew Bertie rip


Pray for the soul Fra Andrew Bertie, the Prince and Grand Master of the Order of Malta. The former school teacher at Worth Abbey, which is quite near here (he was educated by Benedictines at Ampleforth) was elected Prince and Grand Master in 1988. He was the first Englishman elected to the position.
Shouts in the Piazza has several posts on his death.
