The historic Lord Mayor’s Show returns on Saturday and the entry from the Worshipful Company of Farmers, celebrating its 70th anniversary, will take centre stage supported by the NFU, Massey Ferguson, Red Tractor and Surrey Docks Farm.
Showcasing Welsh and British agriculture
An impressive state-of-the-art Massey Ferguson 8S.205 tractor will star in the procession alongside a 1952 Little Grey Fergie, together with a trailer demonstrating the innovation of British farming over the years and the range of sustainable climate-friendly food produced by the nation’s farmers and growers.
NFU Deputy President Tom Bradshaw said: “Speaking with the people that come along to enjoy the Lord Mayor’s Show, it is one of the highlights in the calendar and we can’t wait to get back on to the streets of London to support the Worshipful Company of Farmers for another fantastic event.
“British farming’s participation in the parade gives us a great opportunity to showcase our proud industry; one that produces sustainable, climate-friendly food alongside protecting and maintaining our environment, to the thousands of people on the streets of London and to the millions watching on television.
“I’m also pleased that once again we will have the NFU’s cohort of Student and Young Farmer Ambassadors with us in London - a passionate and enthusiastic group - who represent the next generation of the British farming industry.”
“This year we are delighted to be highlighting the 70th year of the Worshipful Company of Farmers in the City of London. The Company is very proud to be a part of the Lord Mayor's Show and supporting the role our farmers play in producing food for the nation.”
