Today marks the 75th anniversary of Windrush - the day HMT Empire Windrush arrived in the UK carrying hundreds of Caribbean passengers who were invited to help revive the country and its economy after the Second World War.
And while many people will be taking time to thank the pioneers that migrated for their contributions and accomplishments, they should also spare a thought for the 'forgotten children' of Windrush.
It's estimated that around 90,000 children were left behind in the Caribbean by their parents in the 1940s and 1950s and they later became known as 'barrel children', due to the 'barrel' care packages that were sent back to them.
