Brigadier Claire Phillips spoke at the dedication ceremony, informing the 300 guests: "I am a gay woman who has served in the British Army for 30 years.

"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."
