Isle of Man
Isle of Man Post Office was delighted to celebrate the announcement that Prince William is to marry long-term girlfriend Miss Catherine Middleton next year.

To mark this prestigious occasion in Royal history, Isle of Man Post Office issued a miniature sheet featuring two stamps depicting Prince William and imagery of Kate and William together on 26th November. In addition to this, a presentation pack and first day cover were also issued.

The couple’s courtship has been somewhat of a fairytale. They met at St Andrew’s University in Fife in 2001 where they were both started out on the same history of art course. They graduated in 2005, the same year as their relationship became widely known.

6th February 2011 Sixty Years of Service - HM The Queen & HRH Prince Philip
The Isle of Man begins celebrations of sixty glorious years of the reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II with the first of three landmark stamp issues to honour this achievement. The six stamp issue follows Her Majesty and HRH Prince Philip through the decades in photo album form, depicting the royal couple from their earliest years together to the present day. The sheets of stamps feature 8 stamps of each value in an attractive diamond-inspired formation.
