lord mayor

The Lord Mayor of Westminster, Robert Rigby, thanked Norway for the tree and said: "They have done a tremendous job as ever - it looks majestic."

More than 20 years have passed since Alex Maskey became the first Sinn Féin lord mayor to pay his respects to the war dead at the Cenotaph.

Belfast's ceremony will begin at 11:00 GMT and will include Lord Mayor Micky Murray laying a wreath at the Cenotaph on behalf of the citizens of Belfast.

Thousands of spectators have taken to the streets of the City of London to watch the 2024 Lord Mayor's Show procession.

The procession marks the first public engagement for the new Lord Mayor of the City of London, Alistair King.
