The Lord Mayor's Show: A Celebration in London

The Lord Mayor’s Show, held annually in London, is one of the oldest civic processions in the world, dating back over 800 years to 1215. This grand event celebrates the inauguration of the new Lord Mayor of London, bringing together a vibrant blend of historic ceremony, dazzling floats, and colourful costumes. The parade traces the route from Mansion House to the Royal Courts of Justice.

The Army Cadets from the Greater London South West Sector led on the Lord Mayor’s Show.

For the Army Cadets, participation in the Lord Mayor’s Show is a highlight of their year and a powerful demonstration of their unwavering discipline, pride, and commitment to serving their communities.

Walking alongside fellow cadets, soldiers, and representatives from various organisations, the Army Cadets represented young people who contribute positively to their communities. For these cadets, this historic occasion is an opportunity to connect with London’s unique traditions and embody the values of the armed forces community.
