New Lord Mayor for the City of London

David Wootton is the new Lord Mayor of the City of London. Following the hand-over of power from the previous Lord Mayor, Michael Bear, during the ancient Silent Ceremony in the 16th-century Grand Hall at the Guildhall (pictured), he posed for photographs for the media and was interviewed by Stephen Fry, who is currently filming in the 'Square Mile', and was then driven to his official residence, Mansion House. He takes part in The Lord Mayor's Show tomorrow from 11am, which features a three-mile-long procession of colourful floats and military bands.
