Faces of Windrush generation immortalised by portraits as King Charles lauds 'pioneers'

The King is celebrating Windrush pioneers with a series of portraits commissioned for the Royal Court Collection.

Marking the 75th anniversary of HMT Empire Windrush docking in Essex, a BBC documentary will follow the project, in which 10 leading artists created portraits.

Charles III writes in a book accompanying the portraits: “It is crucially important that we should truly see and hear these pioneers who stepped off the Empire Windrush at Tilbury in June 1948.”
