Ahead of The Lady Mayor’s Show, Dame Susan Langley featured on the BBC.
In this article Lady mayor aims to ‘un-square the Square Mile’ Anna O’Neill wrote:
“It will be a weekend of firsts for Dame Susan Langley DBE, the lady mayor of the City of London.
“Although Dame Susan, 62, is not the first female lord mayor (she’s the third in its 697 year history) she is the first to take the lady mayor title.
“Consequently she has insisted that this year the name of the Lord Mayor’s Show is changed to the Lady Mayor’s Show. A passionate advocate for equality, especially for women, Dame Susan also wants to “un-square the Square Mile” by highlighting its innovative side.”
The article goes on to speak of Dame Susan’s upbringing, her vision for the year and her other title as “Lady Pearly Mayor of the City of London”.
