Clerk to the Lieutenancy
Gregory Parke, DL
The Lord-Lieutenant may appoint whichever person of standing and integrity he wishes to be clerk of the Lieutenancy.
Lord Lieutenant Cadet
The Lord-Lieutenant can appoint cadets, through the Reserve Forces and Cadet Association (RFCA) to accompany them on official duties.
They provide an essential link between the armed forces and the local community, assist with recruiting within the cadet forces and assist the County’s Reserve Forces and Cadets Association. The cadet is selected and appointed based on their outreach and participation within their squadron, detachment or unit, and is seen as one of the highest achievements in the Cadet Forces.
