伊利莎白二世登基鑽禧紀念郵品

話說六月初,英女皇伊利沙伯二世慶祝登基鑽禧紀念鬧得熱烘烘之際,曾嘗試能在樂滿郵買到相關紀念郵品,結果是失望而回,但 ... 希望在人間,上網搜尋時獲悉海外人士也能在英國皇家郵政 直接開戶訂購郵品,當然馬上行動。

訂購的郵品,於 25 及 26 日分三批寄到辦公室,原來是採用普遍空郵,難怪郵費那麼便宜,當然等待時間要長一點。此外,澄清我的地址又多花了一點時間,估計郵遞時間比正常多了約一個星期。


由於英國皇家郵政 的網頁是以英語撰寫,郵品的資料只有轉英語台了。

The House of Windsor Stamp Set
(Issue Date: 2 Feb 2012)

The House of Windsor has now reigned for over a century of great achievements and dramatic events. Despite the turbulence of two world wars and the constitutional crisis of the abdication, it has done so with enormous dignity. Therefore we are proud to present this Special issue as Britain prepares to celebrate only the second ever Diamond Jubilee in history; the first being that of Queen Victoria, the great-great- Grandmother of Her Majesty The Queen.
