70 years ago, on 22 June 1948 the Empire Windrush landed at Tilbury Docks, Essex. The arrival of 492 passengers from the Caribbean marked a seminal moment in Britain's history, and has come to stand for the rich diversity of this nation.
The Windrush Generation made a huge contribution to rebuilding the country following the war and their settlement and their descendants have continued to enrich social, economic, political and religious life.
This service is a chance to honour those from the Windrush generation and their descendants to celebrate and reminisce together.
Please RSVP your attendance via return email by Thursday 20th June 5pm to Danita Goodwin - Community Projects Manager, Faith in Queens Park on 07305 214107.
