THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW

The transcript describes a successful visit to the Dominion, highlighting a march at Guildhall with the new Lord Mayor, Sir Leslie Boyce, who was born in Australia. Despite austerity, the event featured a grand spectacle of marching servicemen. The November rain paused for the occasion, allowing thousands to witness the traditional ceremony at the Law Courts. The scene then shifts to Australia House, where Sir Leslie was welcomed by the Australian High Commissioner, who read a message from Mr. Menzies. This marked the first time a citizen born in a British Dominion overseas became London's Lord Mayor.
