City of London marks 800-year tradition with Lord Mayor's Show
The 2026 Lord Mayor's Show took place in the City of London, featuring a 2.86-mile procession with 6,500 participants, 250 horses, and over 50 floats. The event, which dates back more than 800 years, marked the appointment of Alderman Bronek Masojada as the 698th Lord Mayor. Organizers expected over 350,000 spectators to line the route, which included a replica of Tower Bridge with functioning bascules. The new Lord Mayor, who succeeded Dame Susan Langley, took office at a Silent Ceremony on Friday before the Saturday parade.
