Our Deputy Lieutenant Trevor Fletcher represented the Lord-Lieutenant at the launch of Nottinghamshire Day 2026.
The Lord-Lieutenant said:
As His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire, I am delighted to join people across our County in celebrating Nottinghamshire Day.
It is an opportunity to celebrate not only our identity, but also our remarkable heritage and beautiful places, the people and communities who give Nottinghamshire its character, warmth and strength.
From our towns, villages and countryside to our businesses, universities, charities, public services and voluntary organisations, Nottinghamshire is a County shaped by service, innovation, resilience and a deep sense of belonging.
As we honour our past, we should also look confidently to the future and the contribution each of us can make to elevate our County and its people.
I wish everyone across our county a very happy Nottinghamshire Day.
