Lord Mayor's Show part 1
Pomp. ceremony. And then some.
After an early breakfast last Saturday, I went with Ria and Sara to the Lord Mayor's Show. We walked to the City (buses on diversion) two hours early to secure a good place. Cameramen kept displacing us, but we still got a good view--we had a good look at the Lord Mayor as he shook the hands of the men in uniform. The show was an hour long, but it seemed that all the marching bands in London had passed before us. There was a distracting Hong Kong presentation simul with the show which I found hard to appreciate because it seemed out of place. Still, it was a great experience.
