“As we celebrate VE Day don’t forget 15,000 West Indians who served in WW2. One of my mentors was the late Eddie Martin Noble (1917 2007). I had the honour of knowing him and made a film in 2008 called A Charmed Life about his life and the West Indian contribution to WW2. Making the film inspired me to start the campaign for a national Windrush Day.” – Patrick Vernon OBE
