In her address Ms Winskell congratulated all recipients and paid especial tribute to the service and commitment each had given - some over decades. "The common thread connecting everyone receiving awards tonight is their dedication to their communities, both military and civilian, and their country. These awards are richly deserved." .... She also thanked family and friends for supporting recipients and said that without this support, this service and commitment would just not happen.
In thanking her outgoing Lord Lieutenant’s Cadets and welcoming her new Cadets for 2026, she emphasised what amazing ambassadors for youth the Cadet Forces were. The Lord Lieutenant thanked the Commanding Officer Queen’s Own Yeomanry, Lt Col Charles Mackain-Bremner, and his team, for hosting the event and the band of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers for their musical accompaniment to the evening. Thanks also to the Chef for the excellent buffet provided.
