UK Coronation Stamps Ethnic Diversity

A new set of Coronation stamps have been issued to mark the Coronation of King Charles.

Four new stamps and a special postmark are being issued to mark the coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla, with the stamps embracing causes close to the king's heart.

Presented in a miniature sheet, it is only the third occasion in history that Royal Mail has issued coronation stamps, the previous two being for George VI and Queen Elizabeth II.

The four stamps depict: the coronation, diversity and community, the Commonwealth, and sustainability.

The diversity and community stamp, reflecting the multi-faith community and cultural diversity of Britain, features figures representing the Jewish, Islamic, Christian, Sikh, Hindu and Buddhist religions, and is representative of all faiths and none. The background shows aspects of rural and urban Britain including many places of worship.

The diversity was seen on the day of the coronation when many faiths were represented

Nice, but we want pictures!!!!!

Thanks Roberto...I always struggle with pictures on this site!

If you go to the Royal Mail web site it shows a range of souvenir items items eg coin cover, FDC ,mini sheet etc available.

I am sure some of the items will be popular, and no doubt non collectors will purchase them thinking that they will be worth millions in a few years time!l
