The proposed itinerary is shown below (times are approximate):

 

s Meet outside the Green Man at 7.45am for an 8.00am departure

s Arrive London 9.30/9.45am

s Note: We have been given special permission for our coach to pass through the security cordon and road closures and we are allowed to park on Queen Victoria Street (a short 5 minute walk to the Grandstand with no tube journey!)

s The coach will depart London at 15.30 (tbc)

s Arrive Thriplow approx. 17.30

 

Option 1 – Basic: £20 (coach only)

The Lord Mayor’s show dates back to medieval times and is a national event that is seen by over 3 million viewers around the world. Subject to election the new Lord Mayor will be William Russell. It is traditional that the show reflects his life and interests. We have been given the opportunity to take part.

 

Members of the Yellow Barrows display team from the 50^th Daffodil celebration, Church, Cricket Club and School will be taking part. This reflects the Thriplow community, our sense of fun and will show off our daffodils (the barrows and support vehicle will be suitably decorated). As well as being a lot of fun it is also a huge opportunity to show off our wonderful village.

 

Best wishes
