The Armistice Day Remembrance Ceremony showing the Sergeant-at-Mace, Edward T. Jones leading the procession of dignitaries through City Square. In the background, looking towards Quebec Street, Part of the Majestic Cinema can be seen left, and the General Post Office Building, right. Immediately behind the Sergeant-at-Mace are to the left, Alderman Leslie Owen, Deputy Lord Mayor (in the absence of the Lord Mayor, Hugh Lupton, through illness) centre, the Lady Mayoress, Ella Lupton wearing chains of office, and right, the Deputy Lady Mayoress, Mrs Owen. The Great Mace of Leeds carried by the Sergeant-at-Mace was made in 1694 by Arthur Mangey a Goldsmith of Briggate. It cost 60 pounds 11 shillings to make, and recently has been insured for £20,000. Although pleading innocence, Arthur Mangey was later accused and convicted of clipping coins and was executed at York on October 2nd 1696. However, a search of his Briggate workshop after his death revealed a pair of shears. The mace is always carried before the Lord Mayor at official ceremonies and is representative of Royal Authority.
