UNITED KINGDOM<br />
London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic<br />
Games 3<br />
[ 27 JULY 2011 ]<br />
As part of the countdown to the<br />
London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic<br />
Games, Royal Mail commissioned 30<br />
artist and image makers to take part<br />
in this three-year project.<br />
This would see the creation of 30<br />
stamps to mark the 30th Olympiad<br />
and London 2012 Paralympic Games,<br />
with each stamp championing an<br />
Olympic or Paralympic sport, issued<br />
in three sets of ten stamps in 2009,<br />
2010 and 2011.<br />
The third and final set in this exciting<br />
series, subtitled ‘Get Ready for 2012’,<br />
contains a new set of ten dynamic<br />
images issued exactly one year before<br />
the opening ceremony of the London<br />
2012 Olympic Games.<br />
The Crown Jewels<br />
[ 23 AUGUST 2011 ]<br />
The British Crown Jewels are known<br />
around the world as a dazzling<br />
collection of objects representing<br />
royal sovereignty, the Crown Jewels<br />
are also remarkable due to their<br />
continuity of use: the collection is<br />
still used in a coronation ceremony<br />
that has changed little in a thousand<br />
years. The stamps focus on details<br />
from some of the most important<br />
and iconic items with the Crown<br />
Jewel collection. Images were<br />
specifically chosen to reflect the<br />
beauty and intricate workmanship<br />
of the items featured.<br />
