Preserving tradition: Mairead Liston’s Sheep-herding experience

In a truly unique and historical moment, Mairead Liston, a distinguished member of The Worshipful Company of Nurses, led a flock of sheep across Southwark Bridge this weekend. This extraordinary event commemorated her medieval rights as a City of London Freeman.

Over 1,000 Freemen joined in this year’s ceremony, and Mairead was proud to be a part of this ancient tradition. She was accompanied by family and friends who celebrated this exciting milestone with her.

This remarkable experience highlights the rich history and unique privileges associated with being a City of London Freeman. It’s a testament to Mairead’s dedication to her profession and her commitment to upholding these historical traditions.
