ALREWAS, STAFFORDSHIRE - OCTOBER 27: King Charles III lays flowers during the dedication ceremony for a new memorial to the Armed Forces LGBT+ community at Founders Room National Memorial Arboretum on October 27, 2025 in Alrewas, Staffordshire. The memorial, named "An Opened Letter" is the first to be dedicated to members of the LGBT+ community in the armed forces. Until 2000, it was illegal for members of the British Armed Forces to be openly gay. The memorial is dedicated to those who suffered under this law as well as those currently serving in the military.
