As The King's representative, and within the established systems, the role of the Lord-Lieutenant is to reward and recognise individual and institutional effort and to celebrate the various elements of the cultural, historical, artistic and spiritual life of the community in such a way as to encourage a sense of identity and civic pride as well as to promote what can best be described as 'societal glue'.
The role of the Lieutenancy is entirely non-political and the Lord-Lieutenant and all Deputies are unpaid. Following the example of The King, they remain strictly neutral with respect to political matters – both locally and nationally.
The office of the Lord-Lieutenant, the permanent representative of The Crown in a County, dates from Tudor times. Its holder was originally concerned mainly with supporting the monarch, protecting the county, being responsible for maintenance of order and for defence through the county militia.
