Some of the people who were on the Kindertransport have returned to one of the main arrival points in London 85 years after coming to the UK as refugees.

Led by Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis against the backdrop of the Kinderstranport statue at London’s Liverpool Street Station, a service was held for Kinder and their families.

The Kindertransport ran between November 1938 and September 1939 and rescued approximately 10,000 Jewish children from the clutches of Nazism.

Alexandra Greensted travelled from Prague in 1939 at the age of seven.
