The Lord High Constable of England is a ceremonial position that dates back to the medieval period. This official is responsible for maintaining order during royal events, particularly during coronations and state occasions. The role has historically included overseeing the military and law enforcement within the realm. The position is one of the Great Officers of State and is often held by a nobleman. The Lord High Constable's duties are largely symbolic today, but the title remains significant in British history and tradition, often associated with the British monarchy and the House of Lords.
