The students who study the Extended Diploma in Performing Arts were asked to represent North Staffordshire as the New Lord Mayor of London has links with the area and his father still lives in Stoke-on-Trent. On Saturday 12 November, the students danced in the parade to routines themed around the pottery industry. They were joined by Saxon warriors who were promoting the Staffordshire Hoard and pupils from Trentham High School.
The Lord Mayor of Stoke-on-Trent was their host for the day and they were entertained by a spectacular fireworks display on the banks of the river Thames before their day finished.
The Lord Mayor’s of London’s Show is like no other procession in the world. It is 3 miles long and nearly 800 years old and its 6000 participants will spend months preparing floats for the amazement of hundreds of thousands of people who line the streets of the City to watch them go by.
