Patrick Vernon marked Windrush Day with a tribute at Hackney Council’s official event, where he led a one-minute silence in memory of the Windrush Pioneers.

He also wrote a powerful reflection for Windrush100, honouring the lives and legacies of those lost and calling for a renewed commitment to recording and celebrating this vital part of British history.
