Queen Victoria Bicentenary

Maybe you noticed the nice stamps on this letter...

Queen Victoria in her latter years

It belongs to a set of six stamps, issued by Royal Mail on the bicentenary of  Queen Victoria's birth. They chart Queen Victoria’s life – from Princess to Empress.

Before I had seen them on the Internet, I received four of them... the same day!

    1. I've got five of six. I don't know why I always get the whole sets minus one stamp! But it can still arrive, I hope.

  2. Amazing to see so many arrive in your mailbox at once.
