THIS year’s Christmas stamps have been revealed and are now on sale.

The six stamps, illustrated by Stroud-based artist, Andrew Davidson, each feature post boxes and a cypher from the six monarchs of the last 100 years.

Designer, Mr Davidson, has worked on more than 12 stamp issues for Royal Mail, and said: “Knowing my illustrations on the 2018 Christmas stamps will be winging their way around the world delivering season’s greetings to friends and family gives me a real sense of festive joy.”

The festive stamps are now on sale. Royal Mail suggests posting by December 18 for second class, December 20 for first class, and December 22 for special delivery.
