Glittering Spectacle Will Depict Story Of Wool
London, Nov. 8. :
Probably for the first time in its long history, London's Lord Mayor's Show will today have as its theme the story of one commodity. It will be the story of wool's associations with the City.
- But for the main section of this annual glimpse of civic pomp and pageantry the people of London must, to some extent, thank a horse. For although London's first mayor-Sir Henry Fitz-Ailwyne--was appointed by Richard 1 in 1189, it was not until 1711, when a Lord Mayor (the "Lord" was added in 1354) was thrown from his horse, that he and his successors possessed a ceremonial coach.
