A Community Network and Outreach Service representative said: “Being a Windrush descendent myself, I recognise the contribution of the first Windrush migrants to our communities, NHS, food, music and much more.

“This is also a celebration of the diversity of South Ribble – not just those Windrush descendants – but all with a dual heritage and the positive steps since those earlier days.

“If you have half an hour spare on the 22 June (time to be confirmed), please come along to South Ribble offices for the raising of the flag.”
