About the event
Ten years ago, in September 2016, Herne Bay welcomed HRH Prince Michael of Kent to unveil a bronze statue of record-breaking pilot Amy Johnson, marking the 75th anniversary of her death - in service for the RAF during WWII - off the shores of the town in 1941.
A call out to artists. We invite you to submit artwork to mark the 10th anniversary of Amy Johnson's bronze statue on Herne Bay Seafront.
