Front and centre in my album when looking back at Queen Elizabeth's reign, a smile by all to show the fellow Kings I will see in my lifetime #philately #Queen #KingCharlesIII

It tickles me that people think that postboxes are changed when the monarch dies. You've probably been posting letters in postboxes with old cyphers your whole life withoit noticing! Any English boxes without cyphers btw are Victorian 'anonymous' boxes #PostboxSaturday

There's a #CypherSpotting trend sweeping the UK - read up on the history of Royal Cyphers here and let us know which ones you find on your local postboxes. 📮 -> bit.ly/2FXLiCs

King Charles New Royal Cypher Revealed 👑 #philately #KingCharlesIII #GodSaveTheKing

The Royal Mail is issuing special commemorative stamps marking the life of Queen Elizabeth II. They include four of the most famous portraits of Her Late Majesty. Among them is one of the photos taken in the early part of her reign by Dorothy Wilding.

One of the memorial stamps issued for Queen Elizabeth II features a portrait by Cecil Beaton from 1968. All the images in this special set were first used in the Golden Jubilee stamps in 2002.

The first letters have been franked with the new cypher of The King in the Court Post Office at Buckingham Palace today. 📮 The cypher is the Monarch’s monogram, consisting of the initial of their name combined with an ‘R’ for Rex (Latin for King) or Regina (Latin for Queen).
