The role of the Lieutenant Governor is to act as the ''de facto'' head of state in Guernsey and as liaison between the governments of Guernsey and the United Kingdom. The holder of this office is also ex officio a member of the States of Guernsey but may not vote and, by convention, speaks in the Chamber only on appointment and on departure from post. The duties are primarily diplomatic and ceremonial. The Lieutenant Governor has his own flag in Guernsey, the Union Flag defaced with the Bailiwick's coat of arms. ==History== The Crown appointed Wardens or Keepers to represent its interests in the Channel Islands. After 1473 separate Wardens were appointed for Guernsey and Jersey, the title of Captain or Governor also being used. Around the early 17th century the title of Governor was settled upon, although those appointed to the position of Governor adopted the practice of appointing a lieutenant to carry out their duties in their absence. By the 19th century the post of Governor of Guernsey had become a sinecure and the position was abolished in 1835. Since then Lieutenant Governors have continued to be appointed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://guernseyroyalcourt.gg/article/1942/Lieutenant-Governors )〕 In 2010 it was announced that the next Lieutenant-Governor would be recommended to the Crown by a Guernsey panel consisting of the Bailiff of Guernsey, the Seigneur of Sark, and the President of the States of Alderney, sitting with a human resources professional.〔(Sark and Alderney could choose the next Lieutenant Governor )〕 This new system replaced the previous system of the appointment being made by the Crown on the recommendation of UK ministers.〔(Guernsey will choose its next Lieutenant Governor )〕 The first person selected by this process was former RAF officer Air Marshal Peter Walker, who was sworn in on 15 April 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lieutenant Governor of Guernsey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
