A silver plated replica of Chapman Light made by Morris Johnson was presented to Her Majesty The Queen in June by Convey Island branch; for 106 years the light marked Chapman Sands, known as 'the last hazard' to ships returning to the port of London. When Her Majesty drove past the RNLI stand at Essex County Show, her car was slowed down so that she could give a smile and a wave to members of Convey Island branch who were manning it. The stand was sponsored by Halcon group.
