Would you like to be cheered and applauded by more than 500,000 well-wishers, lining the streets of London? Have you ever wanted to star in a landmark BBC production watched by over 2 million viewers? Well wait no more.

The Master Coachmaker invites Liverymen and their guests, both young and old, to be part of the Lord Mayor’s Show, joining the other Livery Companies in leading the new Lord Mayor of London through the City in the magnificent gold state coach. The three-mile route travels from Bank to Aldwych, via St Paul’s, and then returns along Embankment.

To complete the Coachmakers’ entry we will be walking alongside Lord Lonsdale’s Park Drag, the Master’s own coach which has been recently restored by Fenix Carriages. Lord Lonsdale, also known as “the Yellow Earl”, was the first President of the AA and the Park Drag is resplendent in his bright yellow livery, now known around the world following the AA being granted the right to use his colours. Lord Lonsdale was also a great sportsman and boxer, and the Lonsdale Belt for boxing was named after him.

Alternatively, if you wish to watch this magnificent procession from the Lord Mayor’s Enclosure, please contact Honorary Assistant Richard Robinson directly for more information.

For those who wish to join, a restaurant will be reserved in the City for a late lunch after the Show. The Master asks Liverymen to make a big effort to come and support your Livery and the new Lord Mayor in the City of London’s most spectacular event of the year. This is the Coachmakers’ opportunity to show our commitment to the City of London, so it would be wonderful to see as many Coachmakers as possible take part on the day.

Participation in the Show is free of charge, but it is essential Liverymen book their places here.
