During the Monks' invasion of Earth, a picture of Martin Luther King was shown on one of the screens inside the Cathedral. (TV: The Lie of the Land)

Philip Purser-Hallard notes in his commentary of PROSE: Of the City of the Saved... that the fact that a statue of the first Lord Mayor of the City of the Saved is the centrepiece of King Square could point to the first Lord Mayor being Martin Luther King.
