Really enjoying it - learned something new - floats are so called as until 1850s the Lord Mayor's Show sailed down the Thames.

An excellent display and super to see so many young people marching in drum corps or on the floats.

Loved to see the traditional dress being worn by several companies. Must not forget the little dogs out for a good walk!
