A UK family will publicly apologise to the people of the Caribbean island of Grenada, where its ancestors had more than 1,000 slaves in the 19th Century.
The aristocratic Trevelyan family, who owned six sugar plantations in Grenada, will also pay reparations.
BBC reporter Laura Trevelyan, a family member, visited Grenada in 2022.
She was shocked that her ancestors had been compensated by the UK government when slavery was abolished in 1833 – but freed African slaves got nothing.
