In 1986 Australia beat England in the final of the men's World Hockey Cup in London. A stamp to commemorate the World Cup was issued at the same time as stamps for the 13th Commonwealth Games at Edinburgh..

Hockey was a game I played for many years.
It has been many years since I have run to catch a bus and the last double-decker that I rode on was on the way to Newcastle.
Perhaps a stationary one is more appropriate for me now. These are from the series for the 150th anniversary of the double-decker bus.

The 17th Commonwealth Games was held in Manchester in 2002 and was commemorate by a series of stamps, one of which really depicts people in motion and definitely running faster than I ever could.

Now it's your chance to get in Motion at Sunday stamps and run through the links posted there.

I like the stamps you posted. The last one, the race, is very cool. It really gives the idea of movement.
The double decker stamps make a lovely colourful set.
I like the striking colours of the hockey stamp. I can't remember the last time I was on a bus never mind running after one.
Your last stamp is perfect for this theme!!!
