  Lord Mayor's Show - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lord Mayor in question is that of the City of London the historic centre of London which is now the metropolis's financial district, informally known as the Square Mile.
A new Lord Mayor is appointed every year and the public parade that is made of his inauguration reflects the fact that this was once one of the most prominent offices in England.
The Lord Mayor still has an administrative role in the Square Mile, but London's primary mayor is a different individual entirely, namely the elected head of the Greater London Authority.

The Lord Mayor of London is entitled to wear the Collar of SS, a chain of 28 golden emblems, each in the shape of the letter S (the reason for which is unclear).

 Lord Mayor's Show
The show proceeds through much of central London, but the climax of the celebrations are held on the Embankment, which is an easy bus ride, tube journey or even walk from the hotel.

 Procession - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In humbler terms, a mayor, grand marshal, or fair "queen" of a local parade will often ride in the town's fanciest automobile.
An ornate example was the embroidered train of George IV of the United Kingdom, carried at his coronation by nine lords in waiting with their own matching silken clothes, capes, ruffs, and plumed hats.
The Reformation abolished in all Protestant countries those processions associated with the doctrine of transubstantiation (Corpus Christi); the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, according to the 28th Article of Religion of the Church of England was not by Christs ordinance reserved, carried about, lifted up, or worshipped.

The 20th century has seen in England what may in some respects be looked on as a revival but in general as a new departure in the shape of semi-dramatic spectacles illustrative of the history of a town or locality; to such spectacles the name of Pageant has been appropriately given.
The modern pageant is far removed from a mere procession in dumb show, however bright with color and interesting from an historical or artistic point of view such may be made.

The motion alleges that Mr Sarda misled the President about the status of the Union’s Lord Mayors’ Show entry and “demonstrated that he is unreliable, incompetent and dishonest and hence unfit to be a Union Officer”.

This was a show the Band had done the year before last, and although a long day with plenty of hard work involved the band was pleased to do such a prestigious job which has many possible future contacts for more engagements.
Once the show was over Lady T, Norman and Andrew congratulated the band on such a fantastic show and invited the band to play the "National Anthem" after their lunch at a function hall in "The Pavilion" at the Coral Romford Greyhound Race Track at approximately 130pm.
True to form of all band shows we were given a "guessed" time and had to endure a two and a half hours wait in the cool surroundings of the race tracks bar sipping complimentary ice cold beverages, watching and even betting on the occasional race (it's a hard life sometimes).
