Lord Mayor's Show - What You Should Know
The Lord Mayor's Show dates back 800 years ago when 13th Century King John granted electoral mayorship to London and each Mayor (Lord Mayor) travelled down to Westminster City to take an oath by the Loyalty to the Queen's Crown. A trail of happy and joyous crowds followed their elected Mayor in a prolific procession. Ever since then tradition has prevailed with the procession popularly known as Lord Mayor's Show.
With present-day modernity, the show has grown more colourful and vibrant with VIPs, delegates, and tourists participating in the show.
