The lord mayor’s show
The oldest annual parade in the world takes place in London. But since it takes place in the middle of November, at a time when there are not too many tourists in the capital, the "Lord Mayor's Show" is an event that is not very well known outside the city. The first Lord Mayor's Show took place in the year 1215, after King John gave Londoners the right to choose their own representative. Like today's event, it was a fairly exciting procession, during which London's new "Lord Mayor" was "shown" to the people of the city. Originally, the new Lord Mayor had to present himself to the Law Courts for approval by the King, and to swear loyalty. Today, the Show is always attended by representatives of the Crown. For many years, until 1856 the procession included making part of the journey by barge along the Thames. Now the Show winds its way through the streets of the City. It is usually the biggest free show of the year for Londoners; and for many years, it has been an exotic or spectacular occasion. In the year 1602, for example, the ordinary people of London were able to see a lion and a camel in the procession. Most people had never seen these strange animals before!
