George Pickett Honoured MBE
1977
George Pickett and his wife photographed when he received his honour with an MBE.
I have found not the Echo clipping but one from the Castle Point Clarion for 1977. I have attached the clipping for you to read. It states:
Castle Points grand old man – County Councillor George A Pickett – has been honoured by the Queen with the award of MBE.
The news that ‘Mr Canvey’ ( a title he got for his constant advocating of the Island at national conferences) had been honoured has been received with universal acclaim.

It’s the MBE, lines on edge of the ribbon looks pre 1952 as it has the Kings crown on it.
Sorry but it is definitely not pre 1952. This photo was taken later in his life more likely around about the time he retired which was in 1977.
Sorry meant the medal type not the photo
Just found this page!! This is my grandad and I can confirm it’s an MBE.
