For the first time, and to mark our 25th anniversary, the Worshipful Company of Security Professionals is entering a float in the 2024 Lord Mayor’s Show. We hope that you will be able to join us on the streets of the City of London to support our Livery Company.

The Lord Mayor’s Show is the oldest, longest, best loved and least-rehearsed civic procession in the world. The 2024 Show will set off from Mansion House on 9 November at 11am.

The Lord Mayor’s Show dates back to the early 13th century, when a desperate King John granted that the City of London could appoint its own Mayor. He insisted that each newly-elected Mayor must come upriver to distant Westminster and swear loyalty to the Crown. The Mayors, and later the Lord Mayors of London have been making that journey for over 800 years. Around them grew up the noisy, colourful, joyous procession that over the centuries became known as the Lord Mayor’s Show.

The procession and running order are published at the start of October each year, following the election of the new Lord Mayor.
