The Lord Mayors Show 2024
The Worshipful Company of Firefighters was proud to lead the float for the Modern Livery Companies in the recent Lord Mayor's Show following the installation of Alderman Alastair King.
We were delighted to have a group of London Fire Brigade Cadets at the head of our float, together with several Company members dressed in old fire tunics and traditional brass fire helmets.
For the lunch break we were once more on the Wellington Ship, where we rendezvoused, quite bychance, the London Fire Brigade Fireboat Errington.

The Worshipful Company of Firefighters Charitable Trust
Closely associated with, but operating as a separate entity from the Worshipful Company of Firefighters, the Charitable Trust is a registered charity (number 1182241) with ten Trustees who are responsible for all aspects of its operation and are all members of the Worshipful Company.
The Charitable Trust realises that the world of the Fire Industry and the Fire and Rescue Service, like many sectors, is changing at a considerable pace and we will shortly be looking at the current core charities to see if these reflect the changing environment. We will also consider what else we can do in the youth and young persons sector. This draws on one of “Aims and Objectives” of the Company and the Charitable Trust in providing opportunities to promote responsible and good citizenship for future generations.
