Every child was
received by the welcoming committee!
The Lord Mayor’s Children’s Party, making a great return after the
lockdown, was the noisiest event I have been to in years. Livery Masters were
invited to bring their children/ grandchildren between the ages of 6 - 9 to the
Children’s’ Party at Mansion House. Hundreds of children, together with
their minders, enjoyed an old-fashioned (ie non-themed) party, including the
Hokey Cokey and Conga (led by the Lord Mayor around Mansion House) and ending,
with the National Anthem. I was lucky enough to be with grandson Ben (aka
Spiderman), who was as overawed as I was with the entertainment.
The finale, of course, was the release of hundreds of balloons for the
children to take home.
The work by the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, and the Sheriffs, staff
and hundreds of volunteers was amazing, and ensured, I believe, nobody got lost
or strayed or borrowed a few pictures! Ben and I thank the Lord Mayor and Lady
Mayoress for the invitation to this wonderful event.
