The Lord Mayor's Show 2010

FROM: http://www.lordmayorsshow.org/media/releases/lord-mayor-elect

An introduction from Douban:
The show welcomes into office the new Lord Mayor of the City of London. The three-mile-long parade involves 6,000 people, 200 vehicles (including a horse-drawn double-decker bus and a mobile post-office), 21 carriages (including the 253-year-old, gold Lord Mayor's State Coach), 150 horses, 20 marching bands and 71 floats featuring people from a huge variety of London communities. The procession, which features participants as diverse as acrobats, hip hop dancers and stray dogs looking for a home, begins at Mansion House at 11am with an aircraft fly-past. It then weaves its way through the historic streets of the Square Mile, via St Paul's Cathedral where the Lord Mayor receives a blessing at 12.10pm, and arrives at 12.30pm at the Royal Courts of Justice where he swears his allegiance to the Sovereign. The return procession starts at 1pm, arriving back at Mansion House at 2.30pm. The fireworks display is at 5pm from a barge moored between Waterloo and Blackfriars bridges.

And Rena and I have followed the parade today. Totally splendid... and exhausted as well. Please just wait and see my work...
