LORD See also:MAYOR'S See also:DAY, in See also:England, the 9th of See also:November, the date of the inauguration of the lord mayor of See also:London (see Vol. XVI., p. 966), marked by a See also:pageant known as the Lord Mayor's Show. The first of these pageants was held in 1215. The See also:idea originated in the stipulation made in a See also:charter then granted by See also:John that the See also:citizen chosen to be mayor should be presented to the See also:- KING

king or his See also:justice for approval. The See also:crowd of citizens who accompanied the mayor on See also:horse-back to See also:Westminster See also:developed into a yearly pageant, which each See also:season became more elaborate. Until the 15th See also:century the mayor either rode or walked to Westminster, but in 1453 See also:Sir John See also:Norman appears to have set a See also:fashion of going by See also:water. From 1639 to 1655 the show disappeared owing to Puritan opposition. With the Restoration the See also:city pageant was revived, but interregnums occurred during the years of the See also:plague and See also:fire, and in 1683 when a See also:quarrel See also:broke out between See also:Charles and the city, ending in the temporary See also:abrogation of the charter. In 1711 an untoward See also:accident befell the show, the mayor Sir See also:- GILBERT

The next See also:year a See also:coach was, in consequence, provided for the See also:chief See also:magistrate. In 1757 this was superseded by a gilded and elaborately decorated equipage costing £Io,o65 which was used till 1896, when a replica of it was built to replace it.
