Welcome to the Lord Lieutenant of Devon's website

Her Majesty the Queen appoints a Lord-Lieutenant for each county on the advice of the Prime Minister.

The main office of the Lord-Lieutenant is that he is Her Majesty’s representative in his county, and it is his first and foremost duty to uphold the dignity of the Crown. A lady who is appointed to the office of Lord-Lieutenant is still addressed as Lord-Lieutenant.

Devon County Council provides administrative service support to the Lord-Lieutenant.
