A STUDENT at Arnewood School has become one of just five Lord-Lieutenant Cadets for Dorset.
Cadet Sergeant Charlie Burroughs joined the Christchurch Air Cadets in 2020.
At the Lord-Lieutenant of Dorset Awards ceremony, Michael Dooley LVO MMs FRCOG appointed the five recipients of the honour.
Charlie will assist the Lord-Lieutenant on royal visits and at civic ceremonies.
Jamie Anderson, headteacher of the New Milton school, said: “We are all incredibly proud of Charlie who is a prefect and serves on the school’s student council.
“Being just one of five Lord-Lieutenant’s Cadets is a huge achievement and is reward for his efforts in the cadets.
“The values he has espoused that led to his appointment are the same ones we champion at Arnewood.”
Lord-Lieutenants are the King’s personal representative in a county whose roles once included organising a militias.
