Windrush Day: UK celebrates 75th anniversary
Windrush Day: UK celebrates 75th anniversary

Britain has today marked 75 years since the very first ship arrived from the Caribbean at Tilbury Docks in Essex.

On board HMT Empire Windrush were hundreds of migrants who came to Britain to help rebuild the country after the Second World War.

There was dancing, singing and celebration at services in Windsor, Southwark Cathedral and London Waterloo station.

However, there was also anger and hurt.

This year marks five years since the Windrush scandal which left thousands facing detention and deportation despite having every right to live in the UK.
