Honours, Medals and Awards
The Lord-Lieutenant is often called upon to make presentations on behalf of HM The Queen. Some National Awards, such as OBEs and MBEs may need to be presented locally if a recipient is unable to attend an investiture. Additionally, medals may be presented to military personnel or civilians at a local ceremony by the Lord-Lieutenant or one of his Deputies. Similarly, Queen's Awards for Enterprise or Voluntary Service are usually presented at a local venue arranged by the company or organisation which has been honoured. Honours and Awards
