King Charles lays flowers at national memorial to LGBT armed forces veterans

I am a gay woman who has served in the British army for 30 years. For hundreds of LGBT veterans, their experiences have been catastrophic their lives and careers shattered. For the serving community, today's unveiling of this incredible memorial is about remembering that we stand on the shoulders of giants those people who fought discrimination and persecution so we can now serve openly and proudly. It is about being able to say to our veterans: you belong and you always did.
