Royal Mail 2024 Stamp Calendar


 The Royal Mail stamp programme for 2024 can now be published and i can see how accurate my predictions were.

11 Jan - Spice Girls
1 Feb -Weather Forecasting
20 Feb -Viking Britain
12 March -Age of the Dinosaurs
16 April -100 Years of Commemorative Stamps
16 May -Peppa Pig
6 June -Dogs
20 June -Red Arrows-60 Seasons
25 July -Dungeons & Dragons
13 Aug -Tower of London
3 Sep -Porridge
26 Sep -Spiders
17 Oct -The Who
5 Nov -Christmas 2024
30 Nov -Winston Churchill

My first reaction was that the subjects looked more interesting than in many recent years. It remains to be seen just why the Dinosaurs, Dogs, Spiders and Tower of London sets are included and any events or anniversaries that they are associated with.

Porridge is likely to be in similar style to Only Fools and Horses or Blackadder.

Time will tell; hopefully when the official announcement is made there will be more flesh on these bare bones.

Spice girls stamps will be available from 11 Jan.
a platinum Miniature sheet will run you 199.99 GBP.
