EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the early 20th century, the grand tradition of the Lord Mayor's Show in the City of London comes to life. The Lord Mayor, dressed in his ceremonial robes and chain of office, leads the procession with a beaming smile on his face. Surrounding him are other high city functionaries, all in their formal uniforms, each adding to the spectacle of the occasion. At the forefront of the procession, a small boy in a sailor suit, with a mischievous grin, leads the band. He holds a horn, his small fingers barely reaching around it, yet he seems to relish the responsibility of leading the musicians. The aldermen and other city dignitaries follow closely behind, their expressions a mix of amusement and admiration for the young boy's determination. The scene unfolds on a bustling city road, lined with onlookers, who have gathered to witness the special occasion. The musicians, dressed in their brass uniforms and playing their instruments, add to the cacophony of sounds that fill the air. The Lord Mayor and his entourage, with their rigorous adherence to tradition and formal demeanor, provide a stark contrast to the small boy's playful antics, making for an unforgettable moment in the history of the Lord Mayor's Show. This photograph, taken circa 1911, is a testament to the enduring spirit of the City of London and its rich history. It captures the essence of the Lord Mayor's Show, a time-honored tradition that continues to bring joy and wonder to generations.
