History
The robes of Lord Mayors, Mayors, Aldermen and Councillors play a much more important part than is generally supposed.
The discipline, orderliness and freedom of the British nation has for centuries been held in the highest regard, and the Mayor's robes are the outward symbol of these qualities in local government.
