Best laid plans of mice and men!

A great send off at 10.45am

I only heard later Saturday evening that the beautiful Lord Mayor's coach never made it back, a broken or bent axle prevented it completing the return journey. I wondered why the shires had not returned to the Guildhall Yard?

However, the Pageantmaster handed over his Land Rover and the Lord Mayor continued on his way.
