Paul Fulcher,, a fine pencil artist, produced a very detailed pencil copy of a photograph depicting the launch of the Penlee Lifeboat ‘Solomon Browne’ and her crew.

Paul presented the crew with the picture this week.

Coxswain Patch said: “It’s a lovely gesture and very detailed, I’m sure the sea spray was difficult to draw, it looks amazing.”
