Editor in Chief Gary Shipton said West and East Sussex should be represented by selfless county servants who are prepared to give up their time to encourage and inspire the many great groups and individuals who operate and live here.

“There was massive support for Meghan and Harry when they were first named as Duke and Duchess but they only managed one official visit - causing widespread disappointment to so many who wanted to welcome them.

“Today we are asking readers who they would want to see representing the county in this role if the decision rested with them. The names do not have to be drawn from the aristocracy - but anyone who makes a huge commitment to local people.”
