The Office of Lord-Lieutenant, The King's Representative in each county of the United Kingdom, has existed for more than four centuries. Today Lieutenancies reflect a modern world very different from their military origins and provide a ceremonial presence on behalf of the Monarch and also a non-political focus for voluntary and charitable activity.
On the Isle of Wight and with the support of her Deputy Lieutenants,
Mrs Susie Sheldon has fulfilled that role since April 2019.
