Lord Mayor
Ceremonial municipal leader
Lord Mayor is the title for the chief official of certain major cities, particularly in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries.
The title carries more ceremonial weight than plain "mayor" and is typically reserved for historically significant cities: the Lord Mayor of London, the Lord Mayor of Sydney.
The position often involves civic ceremonies, formal receptions, and representing the city at official functions.
