The Lord Lieutenant is the King's personal representative in each county of the United Kingdom.
Historically the Lord Lieutenant was responsible for organising the county's militia, but it is today a largely ceremonial position, usually awarded to a retired notable, military officer, nobleman, or businessman in the county.
The current office-holder is Amanda Parker of Browsholme Hall, the first woman to ever have been appointed to the position.
