Hi, According to his cap badge and uniform, he is a Deputy Lord Leiutenant of an English County. Scots LL's wear the Thistle, Irish a Shamrock and Welsh, the Leek. LL's wear the same cap badge but with the rose surmounted by the Monarch's crown and with the addition of a second row of oak leaves embelishing the cap visor. The badge is gold but the visor embelishment iand all buttons etc are silvier. He is also wearing the rank insignia of a DLL rather than military rank insignia again in gold. His gorgets are blue gimp on a red field rather than gold or red on red. Buttons bear the Monarch's crown encompassed with a laurel wreath. He would also have a dark blue high collar Dress uniform for wear on cerimonial duties etc.
Hope that this is of interest to you.
