Welcome to the website of The Surrey Lieutenancy
Here you can find information and updates on the role and activities of the Lord-Lieutenant of Surrey, Michael More-Molyneux, and the ways in which the Lieutenancy supports and impacts on the life, business and communities of our county.

– To uphold the dignity and position of the Crown by assisting and representing it in all aspects of the life of Surrey.
