King attends unveiling of memorial to LGBTQ+ armed forces veterans
The Guardian
|October 28, 2025
The king has laid flowers at the UK's first national memorial commemorating LGBTQ+ armed forces members, where he met veterans who spoke of the trauma inflicted by the military's former "gay ban".
Charles was joined by dozens of serving and former members of the armed forces at the dedication of the memorial, titled An Opened Letter, at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire yesterday. It was his first official engagement in support of the LGBTQ+ community.
Among the 300 guests were some who had military careers cut short before the ban was lifted in 2000.
Thousands were investigated, discharged or forced out because of their actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity. They faced lifelong consequences, including being vilified by family and friends, and losing access to their military pensions.
