Memorial for African-Caribbean soldiers
A memorial to the African and Caribbean soldiers of World War One and World War Two is unveiled in London. An estimated two million African-Caribbean soldiers fought in both world wars. The sculpture, in Windrush Square, Brixton, is formed of two 6ft (1.8m) long obelisks, with a combined weight of just under five tonnes. The memorial is believed to the first in Britain to honour African and Caribbean soldiers from both world wars. UK Black's Devon Daley reports from the ceremony
