The Lord-Lieutenant represents His Majesty The King in the County of Herefordshire. As His Majesty’s representative, the Lord-Lieutenant’s first and foremost duty is to uphold the dignity of the Crown.

The Lieutenancy has evolved to play an increasing and significant role in serving The King, and in the county championing Herefordshire’s identity and promoting the interests of its people and organisations.  In Herefordshire the Lieutenancy’s aim is to support and add value to Herefordshire communities regardless of political, religious, ethnic background or age group.
