In searching my albums for stamps with female leaders I found stamps from Denmark and the Netherlands.
Queen Margethe, I think, who was 70 in 2010
Queen Wilhelmina - Hollands longest serving monarch
Returning to Great Britain and with the Oscars getting closer we are hoping the The King's Speech will succeed. So here are the main players on stamps:
Edward who abdicated at the top; King George VI below.
The bottom row shows the stamp to commemorate the coronation of George VI and Queen Elizabeth on 12 May 1937 in the week before I was born.
Next is the stamp for the 100 anniversary of the postage stamp and the Victory stamp after WWII.
My last stamp today is the oldest in my collection - Queen Victoria on an 1881 issue.
