This study examines the historical developments in medieval London, the ceremonies practiced then and the roles these ceremonies played in overall the social setting. British monarchy was ever so splendid displaying itself in all its finery in the middle centuries. Many of these displays occurred in the pageantries, processions and rituals it held.

Among these many medieval ceremonies are: ‘ Trooping the color ’; which marks the Queen’s official birthday; the ‘ Order of the Garter’ ; perhaps the most prestigious oldest (founded by Edward III in 1348) and The State Opening of Parliament are traditions that date back to 15 th century and are still held to date.

As such it was possible to analyze different social relationships of the groups or classes in the urban society. People participated in the occasional civic festivities, such as processions, entries, and peace celebrations or organized their own competition or festivals both for public and in the private spheres of their meeting-places, according to their social ranks; of knights, dukes, merchants among the others.
