honoured
Explanation: An example, often used: My lords, ladies and gentlemen, honoured guests In other words in this case I would restructure it: Mrs. Bloggs, my lords [if there are any present], ladies and gentlemen, honoured guests [which would then include all the aforementioned], that is if you want to retain the idea of schätzen - otherwise you could leave it out completely.
