A landmark monument celebrating the legacy of the Windrush generation is set to be unveiled in Wolverhampton as part of this year's National Windrush Day commemorations.

The monument, described as a significant tribute to the contributions of Caribbean communities and their descendants, will be officially revealed on Monday 22 June during a programme of events honouring the Windrush generation and its lasting impact on the city.

The unveiling forms part of Wolverhampton's wider Windrush Day celebrations, which will bring together residents, community leaders and dignitaries to reflect on the achievements, resilience and cultural influence of those who arrived in Britain from the Caribbean and helped shape modern Britain.

Organisers say the monument will serve as a lasting symbol of recognition, remembrance and pride, highlighting the important role the Windrush generation has played in Wolverhampton's history and development.

National Windrush Day is marked annually on 22 June, commemorating the arrival of the MV Empire Windrush at Tilbury Docks in 1948. The occasion celebrates the contributions made by Caribbean migrants and their descendants to communities across the UK.

The unveiling is expected to be one of the centrepieces of this year's celebrations, with residents invited to take part in events designed to honour a generation whose influence continues to be felt across the city today.
