Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity (RNRMC) supported a landmark event hosted by Fighting With Pride (FWP) and CBRE on 1st July 2025 at the Tower of London.
The event commemorated the 25th anniversary of the lifting of the ban on LGBTQ+ personnel serving in the UK Armed Forces. Gathering key figures from the Armed Forces, LGBTQ+ community including the Royal Navy LGBTQ+ Network, veterans' organisations, and the real estate sector to honour a pivotal moment in military and social history.
RNRMC has worked with Fighting With Pride since it was established in 2021.
This anniversary is a time to reflect on the courage and resilience of those who stood up against injustice and helped transform the Armed Forces into a more inclusive institution. RNRMC is committed to supporting all members of the naval community, past and present, and we are honoured to be part of this important occasion.
