Wave to us at the 2021 Lord Mayor's Parade!

Posted on 8th November 2021 at 11:57

On 13th November 2021 the 693rd Lord Mayor of the City of London is holding the annual Lord Mayor’s show and this year the Order of Women Freemasons has been invited by the Metropolitan Grand Lodge to join them on their float.

The parade commences at 11am and goes from Mansion House to the Royal Courts via St Pauls – it is free to come along and watch the entire parade.

The Show dates back to the early 13th century when King John allowed the City of London to appoint its own Mayor and since then the noisy, colourful, joyous procession developed into what it is now.

Come along and give us a wave! We will be parading with Float 57.

From this one event £15,000.00 has been donated to NHS Charities.

On the 5th of July OWF members from far and wide demonstrated their charity, one of the three founding principles of Freemasonary.
