The duties include arranging and hosting Royal Visits, presenting Honours and awards, involvement with the military, whether regular, reserve or cadets, visiting those with significant anniversaries (e.g. a centenary or a diamond wedding anniversary) and encouraging the nomination for honours and awards.

A Lord-Lieutenant and his or her Deputes are required to retire at the age of 75.
