City Of London's Lord Mayor's Show

A veteran sells Union Jack flags near the Guildhall on the day that newly-elected Lord Mayor of London, Alderman Alastair King of the Queenhithe Ward travels across the City of London during the annual Lord Mayor's Show in the capital's historic district, on 9th November 2024, in London, England. Alderman King has been elected as the 696th Lord Mayor of the City of London and the procession through London's most oldest part dates back to the 12th century, when King John allowed the ancient City of London to appoint its own Mayor and each newly-elected mayor has been making the same annual journey through the streets for over 800 years.
