Lord Mayor's Day, in England, is the day marked by a pageant known as the Lord Mayor's Show for the Lord Mayor of the City of London. It is actually styled "The Presentation of the Lord Mayor at The Royal Courts of Justice". When King John allowed the city to choose its Mayor it was with the caveat that the king should be informed as to who this was. The new office holder being ' presented ' to the Lord Chief Justice and the other senior judges (originally the Barons of the Exchequer, now represented by the Queen's Remembrancer). From 1752 until 1959, it was held on 9 November. It is now held on the second Saturday in November, whatever date that might be.

  • Lord Mayor's Day, in England, is the day marked by a pageant known as the Lord Mayor's Show for the Lord Mayor of the City of London. It is actually styled "The Presentation of the Lord Mayor at The Royal Courts of Justice". When King John allowed the city to choose its Mayor it was with the caveat that the king should be informed as to who this was. The new office holder being ' presented ' to the Lord Chief Justice and the other senior judges (originally the Barons of the Exchequer, now represented by the Queen's Remembrancer). From 1752 until 1959, it was held on 9 November. It is now held on the second Saturday in November, whatever date that might be. The first of these pageants was held in 1215. The idea originated in the stipulation made in a charter then granted by John that the citizen chosen to be mayor should be presented to the king or his justice for approval. The crowd of citizens who accompanied the mayor on horseback to Westminster developed into a yearly pageant, which each season became more elaborate. Until the 14th century the mayor either rode or walked to Westminster, but in 1453 Sir John Norman appears to have set a fashion of going by water. From 1639 to 1655 the show disappeared owing to Puritan opposition. With the Restoration the city pageant was revived, but interregnums occurred during the years of the plague and fire, and in 1683 when a quarrel broke out between Charles and the city, ending in the temporary abrogation of the charter. In 1711 an untoward accident befell the show, the mayor Sir Gilbert Heathcote (the original of Addison's Sir Andrew Freeport) being thrown by his horse. Sir Gilbert Heathcote broke his leg. The next year a coach was, in consequence, provided for the chief magistrate. In 1757 this was superseded by a gilded and elaborately decorated equipage costing £1,065 which was used until 1896, when a replica of it was built to replace it. (en)
  • Lord Mayor's Day è, in Inghilterra, il giorno segnato da una parata (il Lord Mayor's Show) in onore al Lord Sindaco di Londra, poi chiamata "The Presentation of the Lord Mayor at The Royal Courts of Justice". Dal 1751 al 1959, il giorno dedicato al Lord Sindaco era il 9 novembre. Dal 1960, si tiene il secondo sabato di novembre. La prima di queste festività si tenne nel 1215. Ebbe origine con la stipulazione di uno statuto concesso da re Giovanni alla città di Londra nel quale il re permise alla City di scegliere il suo Lord Sindaco, con la condizione che il re fosse informato della sua identità. Il nuovo incaricato dell'ufficio venne quindi "presentato" durante la parata alla Royal Courts of Justice, nella città di Westminster, dove il Lord Sindaco giurò fedeltà alla corona. La folla di cittadini che accompagnarono il Lord Sindaco, montato a cavallo, fino a Westminster si sviluppò in una parata annuale, che ad ogni stagione divenne sempre più elaborata. Fino al XIV secolo, il Lord Sindaco si trasferiva a Westminster a piedi o a cavallo, ma nel 1453 sembra aver modificato l'uso stabilito raggiungendo Westminster via fiume. Dal 1639 al 1655 lo spettacolo scomparve a causa dell'opposizione puritana. Con la Restaurazione, il corteo venne ripristinato, ma delle pause occorsero durante gli anni della peste e dell'incendio fuoco, e nel 1683 quando scoppiò una lite tra Carlo II ed il governo cittadino, terminando con l'abrogazione temporanea dello statuto. Nel 1711 un incidente accadde durante lo spettacolo: il Lord Sindaco sir cadde da cavallo, rompendosi una gamba. L'anno successivo un cocchio fu, di conseguenza, provvisto per la parata. Nel 1757, il cocchio fu sostituito da un equipaggio dorato ed elaboratamente decorato che costò 1065 £ e che venne usato fino al 1896, quando fu sostituito da una sua replica. (it)
