Back in September 24, I attended a Ceremony at Royal Air Force Cranwell. On the day I was personally apologised to by a very high ranking Officer. I was also presented with a letter of apology from the prime minister and the Chief of air staff and Lord Etherton. Significantly I also received a replacement Beret and Cap Badge and an Etherton Ribbon.
During the proceedings it became very obvious that, not only had the RAF taken on board the importance of Diversity,Equality and inclusion, It was holding up a beacon on how it should be done.

The ceremony and the presentations have gone a long way to making me feel better about myself and my identity.
There’s a lovely article published by the RAF https://www.raf.mod.uk/news/articles/raf-hosts-restorative-action-ceremony-for-lgbt-veterans/
