PUPILS at two North Oxford schools made a startling appearance at the Lord Mayor's Show in London.

Children from St Edward's School, in Woodstock Road, donned costumes for the three-mile long procession, while pupils at the Dragon School, in Bardwell Road, built a 14.5m-long blue and yellow dragon.

This year, the Lord Mayor-elect is lawyer and businessman David Lewis, a former Dragon School pupil.

Mr Lewis was also a pupil at St Edward's between 1961 and 1966.
