The Lord Mayor’s Show in London was held shortly before the last mail left. The bearded men in the top right-hand illustration represent London water carriers in the good old days. They were part of the Metropolitan Water Board’s tableau. Underneath this picture is the Lord Mayor in his State carriage receiving an address from the Worshipful Company of Stationers at Ludgate Circus. The famous sentry at the Horse Guards in Whitehall has often been an unwilling figure in a picture of dignity and impudence. Here he is being asked to give “a penny for the Guy” on November 5. Our fourth illustration shows a scene on Armistice Day. Children are placing small crosses with poppies attached on a scotion in the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey.
