This year’s Lord Mayor’s Show is set to be one of the biggest, most vibrant and culturally diverse in the parade’s near-800 year history. Military marching bands will unite with urban hip-hop sounds, inner-city kids will strut their stuff alongside City workers and dazzling charity floats will wow the crowds in the world’s oldest street procession.
Six London groups have each received an exclusive invitation from the Lord Mayor of the City of London to build their own float for inclusion in the annual spectacular the Lord Mayor’s Show, along with £10,500 in funding for each group.
Over the next couple of months the children and teenagers from all over London will be hard at work learning new skills and developing their creative and artistic flair to entertain almost 500,000 spectators when the parade hits the streets of London on Saturday 11th November. They will also be building their own fantastic float in which they will lead the new Lord Mayor from The Guildhall to the Royal Courts of Justice for the annual inauguration ceremony.
