Marked Rememberabce in departures at RAF Akrotiri. The silence, announced on tinny loudspeakers and respectfuly observed by all, even the babies, toddlers and children of families travelling back to the UK from their stations overseas, was unusually moving.

China currently has 339 gigawatts of wind and solar capacity under construction — roughly two-thirds of the world’s total. China is leading the clean energy revolution. That’s not a subjective statement; it’s a fact.

A pierced, aluminium bronze sculpture on a base of York stone, “an opened letter” is a deeply symbolic memorial, embodying transformation of letters from a symbol of shame, often used as evidence against personnel, to one of pride, beauty, and honour.

“These letters of love were turned into letters of evidence and turned against them.” Artist collective Abraxas Academy's winning design for the LGBT+ armed forces community memorial was based on words from testimonials of those impacted by the pre-2000 ban on LGBT+ personnel.

The King will present a memorial, dedicated to current and former LGBT+ service personnel, marking 25 years since the ban preventing them from serving was lifted. @MattBarbet speaks to Brigadier Claire Phillips and Sergeant Alastair Smith. trib.al/UWsVihL

Humbled to support dedication of the LGBT+ Armed Forces Community Memorial, to welcome our veterans, hear their often difficult stories and see the meaning this memorial has and will have for those who have served in the past, who serve today and will serve in the future.

A new report shows that anti-LGBTQI+ hate crimes have risen in the US, UK, and Europe since 2020. We all have a part to play in ending anti-LGBTQI+ hate and violence. A safer, more equal world is possible—but only if we commit to doing the work needed to get there.
