Cumbria Lord-Lieutenant


Welcome to the Cumbria Lieutenancy website. I hope that you will find our website helpful and informative. It outlines my role and work as Lord-Lieutenant and the contribution made by the Vice Lord-Lieutenant and my Deputy Lieutenants in the day-to-day life of the County.

I was appointed His Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant of Cumbria on 5 July 2023. It is my duty to uphold the dignity of the Crown. I am also very passionate about recognising the people, charities, voluntary services, communities and businesses who do so much to improve the quality of life for all of us who live here in Cumbria and make it such a special place. 

Mr Alexander Scott
