Alderman Alastair King has been elected as the 696th Lord Mayor of the City of London to serve as the global “ambassador” for the Square Mile over a one year term.
He succeeds current Lord Mayor Professor Michael Mainelli from Friday 8 November followed by the annual Lord Mayor’s Show on Saturday 9 November, which will be his first public engagement. The Lord Mayor’s Banquet, traditionally addressed by the Prime Minister on foreign policy, takes place on Monday 2 December at Guildhall.
