Royal Mail issue special stamps to celebrate Queen's Diamond Jubilee The stamps give a fascinating insight into the hugely diverse duties she has performed, from her first televised Christmas broadcast in 1957, to inspecting the 2nd Battalion Royal Welsh half a century later in 2007. The Diamond Jubilee Special Stamps cover 60 years since her accession, which actually fell on 6 February, although celebrations have been taking place throughout 2012, and include a special extended bank holiday weekend next week. The "significant Royal moments" featured also include the Trooping the Colour in 1967 and celebrations of her Golden Jubilee in 2002. The stamps will be available in all Post Office Branches. The stamps can also be bought at www.royalmail.com for one year. Moya Greene, Chief Executive of the Royal Mail, said: "The Diamond Jubilee, only the second in Royal history, is a very important anniversary. The whole world's attention will be drawn towards this special occasion. Royal Mail is honoured to have such an enduring relationship with The Queen. We are proud to mark the occasion by celebrating the official roles of The Queen with distinctive and memorable images, many of which have not been widely seen before. The stamps chart The Queen's reign across the six decades and highlight her unwavering commitment to national duty.
