We were delighted this year to again publish the official Programme for The Lord Mayor’s Show which took place on Saturday 12th November 2022. The Show is one of the best-known annual events in London as well as one of the longest established, dating back to the 16th century. With just over two miles of horses, military vehicles, bands, bicycles and camels over 130 floats, it is the largest unrehearsed procession in the world. This year The Rt. Hon Nicholas Lyons, who has worked in the City of London for over 35 years, became the 694th Lord Mayor of London, taking over from Vincent Keaveny.
Edited this year by Caroline Frost, the Programme showcases the best of what the Show and the City has to offer and provides great insight into the role of the Lord Mayor and those that work closely with him. There is also a feature in which this year’s cover artist Brüer Tidman discusses his friendship with the new Lord Mayor and the influence of Leonard Cohen’s lyrics in the cover artwork. With a comprehensive guide to the float holders who participated, a feature on landmark buildings along the route of the procession and an insider’s guide to hidden gems within London’s square mile, the Programme is a must have to accompany the Show.
Finally, a big thank you to the Epsom Air Scouts and those from the 17th Forest Hill group who joined us on the day to help sell Programmes, alongside the ILN team who were also out on the streets of the City.
