Felicity Buchan MP marked the 75th anniversary of the Windrush crossing today.
Felicity's reflections on the anniversary can be read below:
I would like to pay tribute to the immeasurable contributions of the Windrush generation.
The pioneering spirit of those who came to Britain must always be remembered.
Beyond assisting with Britain's post-war recovery, I am today reflecting on the critical contributions made to the fabric of British society.
Whether it be art, music, literature - or here in my constituency the vibrancy of Carnival in Notting Hill - we owe a huge debt to those who have given us so much.
I wish all those celebrating and reflecting a very happy 75th anniversary.
Felicity
