A fantastic evening on Thursday 17th October celebrating the Surrey Lord-Lieutenant Awards Ceremony!
In the spectacular setting of Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, The Lord-Lieutenant awarded 7 Meritorious Service Certificates from across all 3 Services, 1 Best Reservist Award kindly sponsored by CGI and 7 Lord-Lieutenant’s Cadets were appointed.
A special mention must go to Colour Sergeant David Thomas, who was also presented with his MOD Warrant ‘scroll’ to mark his recent promotion.
Thank you to the Kohima Band for the amazing fanfare and Surrey Army Cadet Force for your support.

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.
