In 1949 Flower was nominated a Deputy Lieutenant for the county of Cheshire and in 1961 vice lord-lieutenant.[3] From 1946, he represented the county also as a Justice of the Peace, retiring from these posts in 1968.[3] Flower joined the council of the Duchy of Lancaster in 1957.[3] He was invested as a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in 1977 on his retirement from the Council of the Duchy of Lancaster[6] and was director of the Country's Gentlemen Association.[3]
