King Charles’ Coronation is being commemorated with four new stamps - featuring his crowning and the causes that have made up his life’s work.

The set, to be released by Royal Mail, is based on newly-commissioned wood engravings by artist Andrew Davidson, and one imagines St Edward’s Crown being lowered onto Charles’ head by the Archbishop of Canterbury at the moment of coronation.

Royal Mail is also applying for a special postmark to be stamped on letters in honour of the occasion - to run from April 28 until May 10.

It will read: “Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla 6 May 2023.” On “The Coronation” stamp, the scene is printed in regal purple ink and set in front of Westminster Abbey, with fireworks appearing above, as a gun salute is fired and crowds watch the ceremony and celebrate at a street party.
