Cyril Wakeman had been a Freemason in London. When he died, several members of the Lodge came to see is widow. They told her that should she need anything.. if she needs any help with the funeral etc, ten she only needs to call them. They would remain unobtrusive, but would always be there for her. This is what inspired Rick to join Chelsea Lodge No. 3098.
In Freemasonry, you don't "get it through family connections". Anyone can be a Freemason providing he has a belief in a Supreme Being (doesn't matter which one) is of a minimum are (usually 21) and can afford the fees..... usually less than a couple of hundred quid per year. You will never be invited...YOU have to ASK THEM to join.
I was at Chelsea Lodge No. 3098 when Rick was Installed as the Worshipful Master at Freemasons Hall. Roger De Courcey (yes, him with Nookie Bear) was his Proposer in to Freemasonry and was also there when Rick took the Chair.
