A knighthood is one of the highest honours in the UK and is granted to those who have made a significant contribution to their field.

On receiving this accolade, Professor Vernon says: 鈥淔or me, it is a great honour to be recognised in the King鈥檚 Birthday Honours List for services to racial equality and social justice, reflecting more than 30 years of contribution across a range of sectors and issues.

鈥淚 see this recognition not simply as a personal achievement, but as an opportunity to further tackle inequality and promote greater dialogue and engagement across the UK around the ongoing injustices faced by the Windrush Generation and migrant communities.鈥�
