Time Out says

The show welcomes into office the new Lord Mayor of the City of London. The three-mile-long parade involves 6,000 people, 1,550 of them servicemen and women, 202 horses, 24 marching bands and 71 floats featuring people from a huge variety of London communities. The procession begins at Mansion House at 11am with an aircraft fly-past. It then weaves its way through the historic streets of the Square Mile, via St Paul's Cathedral where the Lord Mayor receives a blessing at 12.10pm, and arrives at 12.30pm at the Royal Courts of Justice where he swears his allegiance to the Sovereign. The return procession starts at 1pm, arriving back at Mansion House at 2.30pm. The fireworks display is at 5pm from a barge moored between Waterloo and Blackfriars bridges. Watch from the banks or grab a prime position on one of the bridges.

Dear British Citizen, Before posting something you should realsise that foreigners (yep the one who spend and invest so musch money in you country, and pay for taxes as well) go on this website and I am a bit shocked that you are not ashame to display you usual vulgarity. Diane Moss, yes I will enjoy London, I pay for it for more than 10 years, so yes if londoners pay high taxes , they deserve to enjoy a great city. Thanks god, foreigners are there to make it more fun, and its not all rude and grumpy british citizen.

I assume the moderators are in the pub but if they regard the comment from 'Ronnie Kray' 10.33pm as acceptable I suggest heads should roll !!
