Leeds student plays part in 2025 Elizabeth steel soldier stands
Yorkshire Evening Post
|October 27, 2025
The fifth annual Steel Soldiers Remembrance campaign is bringing communities together nationwide, with a poignant new silhouette inspired by Queen Elizabeth II now taking pride of place in hundreds of gardens, schools, and public spaces across the country - raising a total of £5,978.25 including Gift Aid, in charitable donations so far.
 
 Steel soldiers at Catterick Garrison
The campaign, created by Yorkshire-based manufacturer ACS Stainless Steel Fixings with logistics support from DX Group, invites individuals, schools, and community groups to donate to the Army Benevolent Fund (ABF) the national charity of the British Army.
In return, supporters receive a steel silhouette of the late Queen, delivered directly to their chosen location, with proceeds helping soldiers, veterans, and their families.
This year's design was created by aptly named student Elizabeth, 13, from Lawnswood School in Leeds, as part of a design competition held by ACS. The final silhouette is based on her winning entry which reflects this year's theme of Service. Sacrifice. Legacy.
