At @hackneycouncil Windrush Day event, I had the honor of leading a 1 of silence to remember the Windrush Pioneers we have lost. We paid tribute to Nellie Louise Brown who passed away at the remarkable age of 111 years old. It was a poignant moment with family members present.

Happy National Windrush Day!
It’s important to recognise the contribution and legacies of the Windrush generation descendants year-round, but today is still a special moment to reflect and commemorate the 77th anniversary of HMT Empire Windrush coming to Britain
