Lord Mayor's Day is the day marked by a pageant known as the Lord Mayor's Show for the Lord Mayor of the City of London, in England. It is formally styled as 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, with 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.
