Michael Messinger took on the role as representative deputy lieutenant in November - but has not yet donned his ceremonial outfit as the country has been in lockdown ever since. He is one of 100 deputy lieutenants who answer to the Queen s personal representative in Greater London, lord-lieutenant Sir Kenneth Olisa OBE. The role dates back to the time of Henry VIII, when 98 lord lieutenants across the country were responsible for raising militias to keep the peace before the advent of the police force. Now, the role is purely ceremonial.
