Welcome to the Derbyshire Lieutenancy website
Here you will find information about how His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant and Lieutenancy colleagues can support the residents and businesses of Derbyshire.
The Lord-Lieutenant of Derbyshire, Mrs. Elizabeth Fothergill CBE, is His Majesty The Kings’s representative in the County and is supported by the Vice Lord-Lieutenant and a number of Deputy Lieutenants.
The Lieutenancy strives to promote the beautiful County of Derbyshire, its people, culture, diversity, heritage and history by serving its communities and encouraging engagement, across all groups and sectors.
Mrs. Elizabeth Fothergill, CBE, HM Lord-Lieutenant of Derbyshire
The Role of the Lord-Lieutenant
The Lord-Lieutenant is His Majesty the King’s representative in the County; with a foremost duty to uphold the dignity of the Crown. Following the example of the King and other members of the Royal Family, the Lord-Lieutenant seeks to promote a good atmosphere and a spirit of co-operation by giving encouragement to voluntary service, and to benevolent organisations, and by taking an interest in the business, industrial and social life of the county.
The Vice Lord-Lieutenant may be given such duties as the Lord-Lieutenant decides and stands in the place of the Lord-Lieutenant when the Lord-Lieutenant is absent, sick, or otherwise unable to act.
Deputy Lieutenants support the Lord-Lieutenant in general, carrying out tasks as directed by the Lord-Lieutenant.
Officers of the Lieutenancy
The King appoints a Lord-Lieutenant for each County on the recommendation of the Prime Minister.
The Lord-Lieutenant appoints Deputy Lieutenants (DLs), subject only to The King not disapproving of the granting of the Commission. DLs are holders of a public office and use the post nominal DL.
With The King’s agreement, the Lord-Lieutenant appoints a Deputy Lieutenant to be the Vice Lord-Lieutenant.
The age of retirement for all Officers of the Lieutenancy is 75; after which Deputy Lieutenants continue to use the DL post nominal and are retained on a Supplemental List.
The Lord-Lieutenant of Derbyshire is Mrs. Elizabeth Fothergill CBE.
The Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Derbyshire is Colonel John Wilson OBE DL

Today is the Sovereign's Official Birthday and we'll be ringing the Abbey bells at midday to celebrate.
His Majesty The King is pictured leaving the Abbey following his Coronation here last year.
The King, Queen and other Members of the Royal Family are greeted by crowds as they gather on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch the traditional fly-past.

Today marks 25 years since the end of the Kosovo War in 1999. We pay our respects to the British troops who were initially deployed in 1999 and throughout the conflict, to promote peace and stability. We are so grateful to those personnel for their service and sacrifice. (1/2)
The Citizens Advice Witness Service is a really important part of our Justice system which relies heavily on volunteers. I enjoyed learning more about it today and if you can afford just a couple of days a month get in touch with them.
