Deputy lieutenants play a key role in supporting the Lord Lieutenant’s work as the King’s personal representative in the county.
They are expected to support public and emergency services, and the armed forces, as well as encourage cooperation among charitable and voluntary organisations.
Deputy lieutenants are also encouraged to take an active interest in the commercial, social, and spiritual life of Berkshire.
These latest appointments coincide with Mr Try’s third anniversary as Lord Lieutenant.
