The Lord Mayor’s Show 2022 procession was held at the City of London on Saturday (November 12).

The Lord Mayor’s Show is an annual event, taking place in the City of London to celebrate the new Lord Mayor taking on the role. This longstanding tradition is bursting with pomp and ceremony.

The 694th Lord Mayor of the City of London has been proclaimed Nicholas Lyons, who will succeed Vincent Keaveny.

This year's Lord Mayor's show began with a procession at 11:00 It is an epic three-mile procession. He wanderd through the city, starting at the Mansion House, through Cheapside and St Paul's Cathedral, to reach the Royal Court of Justice.

At this point, the new Lord Mayor spends some time inside the Royal Courts to swear an oath of allegiance before rejoining the procession at Temple Place and heading back to Mansion House.

The absolute highlight is the golden State Coach, which has been used in every Lord Mayor's Show since 1757 and is the oldest ceremonial vehicle in regular use in the world. It's previously been on show in the Museum of London.
