Hello bloggers!
I was at St Paul’s Cathedral for the 2024 Lord Mayor Show.
The Lord Mayor’s Show goes back to the early 13th century.
King John granted that the City of London could appoint its own Mayor — but insisted that each newly-elected Mayor come upriver to Westminster to swear loyalty to the Crown.
Lord Mayors of London have been making that journey for over 800 years.
I like these traditions - colourful and a great way to bring a community together.
