The Lord Mayor Elect is admitted on the “ Friday next
preceding the second Saturday in November in every year “ according to the City
of London ( Various Powers ) Act 1959.
And so it was that I found myself at the Guildhall at 2.00pm
on Friday 8th November, in the company of Deputy Master Simon
Catford, to attend the Silent Ceremony.
A packed Great Hall attended upon the outgoing Lord Mayor,
Peter Estlin, and the Lord Mayor Elect ,William Russell, as the Lord Mayor Elect read the Declaration
, and subscribed it. The other formalities then ensued, and following their
completion, the outgoing Lord Mayor, and the incoming Lord Mayor processed out
to return to Mansion House in the outgoing Lord Mayor’s car.
