Description: | Every November the new Lord Mayor of London is sworn into office. As part of the festivities to mark this, a parade takes place through the streets of the City, with the Lord Mayor riding in his official carriage. The carriage, at other times of the year kept on display at the Museum of London, can clearly be seen in this photograph. A cameraman can also be seen in the foreground filming the procession, probably for a newsreel. Newsreels were short films shown in cinemas before the main feature, and served much the same purpose as television news bulletins do today. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | London and Middlesex Archaeological Society | Subjects: | Leisure Power and Politics Identity and Icons | Temporal: | 1933 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
