In honour of pride: I head-canon that posthumously, Captain John Granby ends up becoming a gay/queer icon.
The inciting incident is Iskierka, who has been a long standing supporter of gay rights (she once demolished a police station during an early Pride demonstration) eventually comes out with the truth of Granby's orientation. Suddenly, Admiral Granby-- who'd been a bit of a historical footnote compared to many of his contemporaries-- is back i the limelight.
A few old portraits of him end up becoming incredibly famous, and Granby's legacy within the queer community ends up being the man's dedication to flamboyant, gem-encrusted outfits, which becomes a major influence on British gay fashion.
