“Three cheers for His Majesty, The King,” Vincent Keaveny, Lord Mayor of London, proclaimed on the steps of the Royal Exchange for the ascension of King Charles III on 10 September.

Keaveny is the 693rd person to have held the Lord Mayor title. With its beginnings tracing back to the 12th century, the role has changed alongside London. The Lord Mayor has served as an ambassador for the UK financial sector over the years, but this September the role’s ancient responsibilities were once again put in the spotlight.
