On Thursday 12th October we were at the Gateway in Aylesbury to host the Buckinghamshire Lord-Lieutenant Awards
The Lord-Lieutenant, The Countess Howe, presented 6 Meritorious Service Awards, a Cadet Vocational College Recognition of Achievement and 4 Lord-Lieutenant’s Cadets were appointed. In addition to these, there was the Best Reservist Award kindly sponsored and presented by Esri UK who are also a Gold ERS Award Holder.
Thank you to Buckinghamshire Army Cadet Force for stepping in to support us last night and to The Waterloo Band & Bugles of The Rifles for the brilliant fanfare!
The Lord-Lieutenant awards ceremony is a formal and prestigious event; recognising individuals who demonstrate the volunteer ethos and to build and nurture the enduring relationships that are so important to your County and local community. This is done through the awarding of Medals and His Majesty Lord-Lieutenant’s Certificates for Meritorious Service, amongst other awards. His Majesty Lord-Lieutenant’s Certificates for Meritorious Service were instituted in order to afford public recognition to those members of the Reserve and Cadet Forces whose efforts are not recognised by the twice yearly Honours Lists.
