The Lord Mayor’s Show 2015 in photographs.

The Lord Mayor’s Show 2015 took place on November 14th to mark Jeffrey Mountevans taking over from Alan Yarrow to become the new Lord Mayor of London for the year 2015-16.

The annual Lord Mayor’s show is a procession just over three miles long through the City of London which can never be fully assembled as the route from Mansion House via St Paul’s Cathedral to the Royal Courts is less than two miles. This year’s procession combined a flying pig with 7,000 people, 200 horses, 155 floats, a motorcycle stunt team, Chinese dragon dancers, 24 marching bands, regiments from the British armed forces and representatives of many of the City of London’s livery companies, corporations and institutions.

Despite torrential rain for much of the parade,  the procession was watched by thousands of cheering people who lined the streets of the City to join in the celebrations and enjoy the wonderful spectacle.

The new Lord Mayor, Jeffrey Mountevans is the 4th Baron Mountevans and is a hereditary Pier who sits in the House of Lords. Lord Mountevans was elected City Alderman in 2007, served as Sheriff in 2012–13 and is Lord Mayor for 2015–16.

The procession for the Lord Mayor’s Show 2105 set off at approx 11:00am from Mansion House with the Band of the Corps of the Royal Engineers taking the lead. It took the Corps of the Royal Engineers about 27 minutes to march to the Royal Courts for the first leg of the route with the following procession being approximately an hour and half long. The second leg of route saw the head of the procession leaving Temple Place at approximately 13:10pm arriving back at Mansion House at about 14:44pm.

Gog and Magog, or sometimes Gogmagog and Corineus, are descended from mythical pagan giants and their origins lie in mediaeval legends of the early British Kings.

Security Gatekeepers of the Bank of England in their Houblon pink coats lead the way, followed by two 1930’s gold trolleys, each pulling a recreation of two palettes of gold. If the gold were real, each trolley would weigh approximately 4 tons, and be worth an estimated £93 million. A real gold bar can be viewed and even lifted (if you’re strong enough!) in the Bank’s museum.
