It is proposed that the Presidents of the Institute and
the Faculty adopt the new headgear for future Sessional
meetings. |
 |
The Lord Mayor's Show (as
it is familiarly known) dates back to 1215 (the year of
Magna Carta). Originally a water procession by
barges ("floats"), the procession celebrates the
inauguration of the new Lord Mayor of London on the
second Saturday in November.
The procession includes the Great Twelve Livery
companies of London, other Livery Companies by
invitation, and the bands and members of privileged
regiments of the City. |
