Ceremonial counties of England

The ceremonial counties of England are the areas that a lord-lieutenant, a representative of the head of State is assigned. These areas largely correspond to the metropolitan and non-metropolitan counties in 1974were defined when the English local Government was reformed, and which in turn come from the ancient counties of England. The difference is that with the ceremonial counties still be counted, the unitary authority's that are urban districts that were split off for management matters of the County. Some counties form a unitary authority itself. NorthumberlandTyne and WearDurhamCumbriaLancashireNorth YorkshireE. Riding of Yorks.S. Yorks.W.
