100 Years of Commemorative Stamps
100 Years of Commemorative Stamps at Royal Mail
For 100 years, commemorative stamps, also known as Special Stamps, have helped to mark and celebrate some of the most significant events in the United Kingdoms history and national life.
Each of the 10 stamps includes a selection of three images of previously issued commemorative stamps – including the very first, released in 1924. That year, on 23 April, the first UK special stamp was issued to commemorate the opening of the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley Park in London.
