It’s a secret as open as the Guildhall itself 🙂

BACKGROUND INFO — for GA

And GA, its perhaps worth asking Adrian as Alderman about his Ward float currently being built for the men and women of his Bridge Ward for this year’s Show — in that it takes it all back to the pageant’s origins on the river, giving the word ‘float’ a bit more meaning other than reminding us of milk floats! I hope you don’t have to walk to far in the rain today to bring back your story 🙂

You are correct Rosemary but, when these photos were taken, she was Lord Mayor Elect.

I hope they gave those horses an extra load of oats after pulling that carriage around London a couple of times.
