2899. 🇬🇧 Royal Mail Reveals New Issues For Second Half Of 2026.

 

2026 New issue programmes.

🇬🇧 Royal Mail -

Royal Mail has now revealed most of the remaining new issues for 2026.

The subjects of two issues have still not been revealed. The Commonwealth Games are to be hosted between 23 July and 2 August and there appears to be no issue to celebrate the Games. This will be the first Commonwealth Games to be hosted in the United Kingdom not to be marked by a Royal Mail stamp issue. This appears to be a remarkably random collection of subjects and there seems to be little of significance to justify the vast amounts of money which doubtlessly will need to be paid by one-of-everything collectors (if there are any such creatures still in existence). Depressing. I’m not really all that interested to know what the unidentified issues are. Ho hum.
