A Royal Connection Celebrated in Stamps
Jersey Post proudly presents a six-stamp commemorative issue honouring Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and her historic visits to Jersey. Released on 28 June 2023, the collection captures 70 years of royal service and six memorable moments from her visits to the island, using evocative archival photography.
This tribute reflects the strong bond between Jersey and the British Crown, a relationship that Queen Elizabeth II described in 2001 as “ties that happily seem to grow ever stronger.”
