Royal Mail issues stamps to mark 75th anniversary of Windrush arrival

Royal Mail has unveiled several new commemorative stamps as Brits prepare to mark a historic Windrush Day.

Thursday, June 22, will be the 75th anniversary of the arrival of hundreds of Caribbean migrants in the country aboard the Empire Windrush - the start of what has now been dubbed the Windrush Generation.

The new stamps, which will be displayed at Brixton's Black Cultural Archives from Thursday, have been designed by five Black British artists and feature stunning drawings of people aboard the ship, as well as tributes to the various contributions made by the generation.
