Social media users love this freemason so much they think he could be our next Australian of the Year contender.
Those on Facebook were quick to throw support behin Glenn Langford, a former freemason found drunk and naked inside a huge pipe organ.
Mr Langford appeared in court on Thursday accused of damaging the historic instrument insured for more than $1 million.
His apology to ‘freemasons everywhere’ sparked a strong social media reaction with one man jumping to his defence saying: ‘What man hasn’t woken up after a big night out naked, surrounded by cheeseburgers and full of regret’.

Many people could relate to Mr Langford’s ‘big night out’ on social media
Mr Langford was so popular people suggested he would even make a good Prime Minister or ‘early Australian of the Year contender’.
‘What a nice apologetic Australian, surely we have all overindulged on a extra cheesburger or two and paid the price…early Australian of the year contender?’ they said.
Another user said he had known Glenn since he was 12 years old.
‘He’s a genuinely nice person, he has strong views, he wouldn’t hurt a fly.’
People could relate to Mr Langford’s big night out with one Facebook user saying: ‘I’m sure at some stage of our lives we’ve had a night like this, maybe not to the same magnitude but we’ve all had ‘that’ night.’
The organ inside the hall is supposedly insured for more than $1 million but may be beyond repair
One Facebook user praised Mr Langford for having the courage to apologise for his actions
Glenn Langford was arrested on Wednesday after allegedly flooding the Brisbane Masonic Memorial Centre and setting off the fire alarms.
The 51-year-old faced charges at the Brisbane Arrest Court on Thursday and was granted bail.
But he said his intentions were initially well-meaning and the night had got out of hand after downing a bottle of Johnny Walker whisky, 7 News reports.
The court was told he had been meaning to hand out cheeseburgers to the homeless.
Decorative wall was reported to be damaged and the pipes were also allegedly damaged overnight
Food was left scattered on the floor of the grand hall of the heritage-listed temple in Brisbane’s CBD, which features one of the biggest organs in Queensland.
It is feared the organ, installed in the 1930s, may be too damaged to be repaired despite it being insured for $1 million.
Mr Langford is charged with allegedly damaging a number of organ pipes and destroying part of a decorative wall.
Another Facebook user said Mr Langford seemed extremely sincere and hailed his courage to own up to his mistakes
He was also discovered naked along with clothes, a remote controlled police car and toy gun.
The magistrate heard from Mr Langford’s lawyer who explained he had last week lost his job and was getting over the breakdown of a 16-year relationship.
He was granted bail on the condition that he stayed more than 100 metres away from the centre in Ann Street.
‘Things just got a little loose, I was out of it,’ Mr Langford told 7 News.
He apologised to ‘all the righteous Freemasons everywhere’.
‘I did have a lot of cheeseburgers to give to the homeless. I’m going to see a shrink and don’t drink,’ he added.
