The Lord-Lieutenant’s Cadets
The Lord-Lieutenant is able to appoint young people from the Cadet Forces to become Lord-Lieutenant’s Cadets. These cadets are chosen from the Sea Cadets, Army Cadets and Air Training Corps and stay in this role for one year. The cadets are chosen as recognition of their outstanding contribution to their cadet community and are recommended to the Lord-Lieutenant by their senior offices.
The role of the Lord-Lieutenant’s cadets is to assist the Lord-Lieutenant most usually at large civic and military events and parades. On these occasions they wear their Lord-lieutenant Cadet badge on a red sash.
