EVENTS marking the 75th anniversary of the symbolic birth of multicultural Britain were held across the country on Windrush Day today.
Performances, workshops and exhibitions took place nationwide, including at Tilbury docks in Essex, where 492 people from the Caribbean disembarked from a ship, the Empire Windrush, on June 22 1948.
The passengers, and other arrivals up to 1971, were brought over to fill post-World War II labour shortages and became known as the Windrush generation.
