Speaker: Dominic Reid OBE, Pageantmaster
Since 1215 every newly-elected Lord Mayor has been required to travel through the winding medieval streets of the City of London to Westminster to swear loyalty to the Crown. Over the centuries this journey has become a much loved fixture in the national cultural calendar, with hundreds of thousands of people lining the streets and millions more watching the procession on TV.
The Show’s Pageantmaster, Dominic Reid, organises the procession and will speak on the history and purpose of the Lord Mayor’s Show over the past 800 years, and its relationship with security and public order.
