Deputy Lieutenants

Deputy Lieutenants are appointed by the Lord-Lieutenant.  They are people from all walks of life and the number appointed is determined by population.  Male Deputy Lieutenants can wear a uniform and now a badge is available for all Deputies to wear, but only on official engagements on behalf of the Lord-Lieutenant.

Deputy Lieutenants assist the Lord-Lieutenant in carrying out his role as The Queen’s Representative.  Because of their expertise or role within the community, they may be asked for their help with: 
 
Honours nominations;

Assessments for The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service;

Suggesting names for Royal Garden Parties;

Participation in Citizenship ceremonies.

The Lord-Lieutenant has an Advisory Committee, which recommends names of individuals to be considered as future Deputy Lieutenants.
