About the Lord-Lieutenant’s Awards
The Lord-Lieutenant’s Award recognises cadets, cadet adult volunteers, reservists and military civilian support staff for their extraordinary efforts and supplements honours bestowed by His Majesty The King in the New Year and Birthday Honours Lists.
Cadets awarded become one of the Lord-Lieutenant’s Cadets of their county supporting the Lord-Lieutenant at many ceremonial duties throughout the year. Duties can range from Royal Visits to services such as Remembrance Day. To receive this, cadets must be of the highest standard with excellent bearing, good interpersonal skills and the ability to interact with others. Recipients should hold the rank of at least Able Cadet or Cadet Sergeant and should have been a cadet for at least two years. This award is the highest honour a cadet can achieve and offers opportunities unique only to the cadets recognised as Lord-Lieutenant Cadets.
The Lord-Lieutenant’s Award is also given to adult volunteers of any rank serving in the reserves and cadet forces and specifically recognise exceptional service rather than the length of time served as well as to military-civilian support staff for their work in the forces.
Deepest Gratitude
HM Lord-Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire, Mr Jim Dick OBE, says:
“Congratulations to all the recipients of the 2024 Lord Lieutenant’s Awards. It is with great pleasure and pride to recognise their outstanding contributions that have made a significant impact in our reserves and cadet forces. Their remarkable dedication and commitment embody the spirit of service and excellence.”
Thank you for your extraordinary work and for making a difference in the lives of those in your communities.”
