Welcome to the Leicestershire Lieutenancy Web Pages
Leicestershire as other Counties has a Lord-Lieutenant who is The Queen’s representative
in the County, and the present Lord-Lieutenant is Jennifer, Lady Gretton JP.
The Lord-Lieutenant appoints Deputy Lieutenants to assist her, and appoints one
of these as the Vice Lord-Lieutenant who undertakes such duties as the Lord-Lieutenant determines, and
represents her when she is absent or otherwise unable to act. The current Vice Lord-Lieutenant
is Mr. Richard Everard DL.
The Lord-Lieutenant, Vice Lord-Lieutenant and Deputy Lieutenants are collectively
referred to as the Lieutenancy. Further information on the Lord-Lieutenant and other Lieutenancy
