Sheldon Coore, 47, says Huddersfield is all he has ever known since his mother brought him to the UK in 1988 at just 16 months old to join his grandparents, who settled during Windrush. He was handed an Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) jail term in 2005 after he put a man in a headlock and stole 20 from his pocket, having already racked up a string of previous convictions to fund his drug addiction.

Former England, Forest and Man Utd defender will be at Aviva Stadium today, cheering on Cork City and his son in big decider When Audley Anderson arrived in Nottingham from Jamaica as one of the Windrush generation in 1954, his primary sporting passion was cricket, not football. Garfield Sobers had made his debut that year in a series win against the country he would soon call home.

For this year's Black History Month, the theme is Standing Firm in Power and Pride, honouring the resilience, innovation and fortitude of Black people in the UK and beyond. It celebrates the community's contributions across many fields, including the arts and culture, as reflected in a selection of brilliant new exhibitions. These range from explorations into the artists and groups

The Windrush Untold Stories exhibition, displayed in Windrush Square, features 20 portraits and recollections of people who arrived in the UK from the Caribbean in the postwar era.
