The three-day carnival at the end of August will mark this year's 75th anniversary of the arrival of HMT Empire Windrush at Tilbury Docks. Members of the Windrush generation helped found the Caribbean Carnival in the late 1950s that was the fore-runner of today's festival.
The Windrush generation and their descendants should be treated with the "dignity, respect, and gratitude they deserve", Matthew Phillip, CEO of Notting Hill Carnival Ltd, told an event to launch this year's carnival.
The anniversary was a "momentous occasion that allows us to reflect on the tremendous contributions and enduring legacy of the Windrush generation, while also acknowledging the painful chapter that was the Windrush scandal," he said.
