      A geometric lattice G is said to be modularly complemented if for every point in G, there exists a modular copoint not containing it. We prove that a connected modularly complemented geometric lattice of rank at least four is either a Dowling lattice or the lattice of flats of a projective geometry with some of its points deleted.
