🇬🇧 Royal Mail  -

  Several post boxes across the United Kingdom were painted by Royal Mail to commemorate the hosting by the City of Birmingham of the 22nd Commonwealth Games from 28 July to 8 August 2022. The postbox in the host city itself is located in one the main thoroughfares, New Street, and as of now (27 August) the postbox retains the commemorative markings applied to it. This postbox has previously received similar daubings on the occasion of the hosting by England of the Cricket World Cup in 2019 (see Blog 1479).The box is paired with a parcel postbox which was not decorated on either occasion.
