Last Saturday we once again took part in the Lord Mayors show to welcome Dr Andrew Parmley as the 689th Lord Mayor of London. Once again the Lightmongers were out in force with our affiliated cadet units 56th(Woolwich) Squadron and the Haringey Sea and Marine Cadets. I was joined in the coach by the Mistress and Deputy Master John Rowsell and Sandy. Our team was completed with students from Mary Hare School and New College Worcester. As we rounded in front of Mansion House our parade could be clearly seen by anyone watching on the BBC. Maybe they were attracted by our updated Bowler Hats with illuminated bulbs. As seems to be the tradition it was a somewhat wet day although the rain did ease back during the procession. Many thanks to all those who took part in the parade, it really got my year as Master off to a flying start – Mike 18/11/16
