THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW
In its early days the procession of the Lord Mayor of London to the Law Courts to receive the Royal ascent to his election — a procession which we now call the "Lord Mayor's Show"— consisted of a string of State barges on the Thames. Later, the journey was made on horseback. In 1711 the Lord Mayor was thrown from his horse, and it was decided that in future a coach should be used. The original coach is still used on 9th November every year. It was built in 1757, and has panels painted by the Italian painter Cipriani.
