Wars of the Roses stamps from Royal Mail
« on: May 06, 2021, 07:41:09 PM »
I don't remember seeing these on here, but apologies if they've already been covered:

A set of eight stamps illustrated with battle scenes by Graham Turner (familiar reprints from several Osprey titles) available in different presentation formats.

I'm quite taken with the historical background presentation pack and also the set of postcards. Think I might spring for a set. For the Boy, obviously, not for me...

They’re lovely aren’t they?  :)
I’ve already got a couple of those as full size prints, but there’s something charming about having them with the Queen’s head in the corner... ;)

I've just received the postcard set and the presentation set of stamps. Both sets are lovely. The presentation set of stamps comes with a nice timeline of the WOTR. The postcards will look great when framed. I've just got to pluck up the resolve to visit Ikea.... lol
