In the picture, there are many different collars on display, the sashes going from side to side are officers in the Provincial Grand Lodge, others are District Lodge & Lodge.

The silver regalia around the balcony used to belong to one of the Penzance Lodges and can now be seen on display in Manchester in the reception of the Head Office, its also used on the Annual Summoned Meeting for the church parade.
