Summary

A ceremonial county is an area that has an appointed Lord Lieutenant and High Sheriff and is used for ceremonial purposes in relation to the monarchy. These areas are referred to as ceremonial counties in England, as Scottish lieutenancy areas in Scotland, and as preserved counties in Wales. Legally, the ceremonial counties are defined by the Lieutenancies Act 1997 as "Counties and areas for the purposes of the lieutenancies in Great Britain" with reference to the areas used for local government. Ceremonial counties are not updated; therefore, the lifecycle dates will not change.
