Towncrier

Sug.

A town crier, or bellman, is an officer of the court who makes public pronouncements as required by the court Black's Law Dictionary. The crier can also be used to make public announcements in the streets. Criers often dress elaborately, by a tradition dating to the 18th century, in a red and gold robe, white breeches, black boots and a tricorne hat.

Grata!
agree Evans (X) : we still have one in the town where I live... his role is purely ceremonial and somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Or maybe we are just rather backward over here.
