It is with great sadness that we have learned of the death of #AlfordGardner at the age of 98.
He was one of the last surviving passengers of the #EmpireWindrush.
In February, Alford was presented with the Leeds Award, for his vast achievements and contribution to the city.
Impressive Mr #AlfordGardner and others who arrived on the #EmpireWindRush are together a @PrideOfBritain. I celebrate them for all their sacrifices to rebuild #Britain post #WorldWarII
Seventy-six years ago, Alford Gardner was among 492 passengers who arrived on the Empire Windrush to help rebuild Britain after the Second World War. 👏
Alford, now 98, went on to form the country’s first Caribbean cricket club in Leeds, he also featured in an ITV documentary – Pride Of Britain: A Windrush Special, in which Prince William took him to a party at Headingley Cricket Ground, with his family and some cricketing legends. 💜

Today is the 76th Anniversary of the arrival of HMT #EmpireWindrush into the Port of Tilbury, within weeks many had joined the NHS workforce.
Thinking of all the wonderful Nurses, Midwives, Doctors & all folk of Caribbean heritage who’ve dedicated their lives to the NHS. 💙🤍💙
Today we honour the 76th anniversary of the arrival of Windrush through the lens of @EvewrightStudio photography - a testament to the Windrush generation's contribution to the NHS – and beyond 🛳️

And they saw this as a privilege to serve. It's strange that the majority of the people on the #EmpireWindrush were from Jamaica; not 1 of these 's was from Jamaica. I guess because they may tell of a different sort of welcome. I just want what ever is shared accurate.

Wow 6T you have outdid yourself with this half term's topic project!Check out the amazing #EmpireWindrush that some pupils have created. I think it’s safe to say this is one of 6T's favourite topics from this year. @TFPrimaryN1 @Miss_AdamsNW
The HMT #EmpireWindrush ship carried people from the #Caribbean on an #Invitation to #Britain (majority from #Jamaica), to help with #rebuilding and fill #JobShortages after the war. These people regarded #England as the “#MotherCountry” in need of their help.
