Viewers were moved to tears by a new documentary that revisited the murder of Stephen Lawrence.
The BBC documentary, Stephen: The Murder That Changed A Nation, charted the events that led to his death.
It also included footage of a recreation of what is believed to have happened on the night of his murder in 1993.
Heart-breaking interviews with his parents Doreen and Neville Lawrence were also featured in the three-part documentary that began on Tuesday night.
Those watching the programme took to social media to tell how deeply affected they were by what they were watching.
One viewer wrote on Twitter: “Still feels as raw as the day it happened. Moved to tears by tonight’s poignant BBC documentary.”
And another wrote: “Two minutes into the documentary about Stephen Lawrence and I am crying.
“What most upsets me is that incidents like this STILL happen! And nothing is done! How many black people have to be murdered before someone takes notice?”
Former Met commissioner Paul Condon and Stephen’s friend Duwayne Brooks, who was with Stephen when he was attacked, and were also interviewed.
The initial investigation into Stephen’s death was hampered by incompetence, racism and alleged corruption.
The harrowing film deeply affected everyone watching.
Some referenced recent headlines about the Windrush generation.
One viewer posted on Twitter: “Just watched the #StephenLawrence documentary and too angry to go to sleep now. Makes me embarrassed to be white. Oh and now a news item on the #WindrushGeneration #Racism.”
Another viewer said: “This is such a hard watch. It makes me so angry. Why are people so evil? So void of humanity? Makes my heart hurt,’ another tweeted. ‘Wow. What an extremely emotional and humbling one hour of television that was.”
