Lord Lieutenant

A Lord Lieutenant is a ceremonial representative of the British monarch in a county or region. Their role is to promote community and military connections, assist with royal visits, and support local organizations and charities. While their duties are largely honorary and involve public engagement, they also serve as a link between the monarchy and local communities, helping to foster national identity and civic pride. Appointed by the monarch, the position is often held by a respected individual from the area and reflects contributions to public service or community life.
