LONDON, Nov. 14 (Xinhua) -- More than 7,000 participants from across the world joined the 2026 Lord Mayor's Show in London on Saturday, continuing one of Britain's oldest civic traditions.
According to the event's official website, this year's procession featured more than 130 entries and stretched over 3 miles (4.83 km).
Alderman Bronek Masojada, the 698th Lord Mayor of the City of London, waved to the crowds from the viewing stand and from his golden carriage along the way.
