Richard Black was left stranded in Trinidad for 40 years after his UK citizenship was revoked - he is thought to be one of the earliest victims of the Windrush scandal. @AyshahTull caught up with him and his wife on their long awaited homecoming.

CACFO came together with fellow Croydon Windrush Charities to celebrate Windrush 75. Our elders had a fantastic day, incl our 110 year-old guest of honour, 'Mumma'. We raised the Windrush Flag -with the plight of Windrush victims seeking fair & just compensation very much in mind
