The Lord Mayor's Parade went ahead in London, Saturday November 14th. Later in the rainy day if you've missed it you can see it on the BBC repeat.
The tragedy in Paris did not stop the in London, but two minutes of silence was observed.
Highlights included the orange James Bond car. For those who like the traditional, a blue Santa on the blue section of the Plumbers of Pimlico. The BBC write up said the show included two reindeer, though I couldn't see them. Maybe you can spot them.
The motorcycle stunt team of riders formed a human pyramid based on a line of motorcycles.
Marching bands provided jolly music including the tune of Life On the Ocean Wave.
Blow-up displays blowing along in the breeze overhead. And stately blow ups sailing along regally included several depictions of HM the Queen in assorted costumes. Unlike Queen Victoria, apparently H M Queen Elizabeth II was amused.
