To celebrate the win of Heather Stanning in the Women’s Pairs rowing, we have produced a special gold medal stamp which is currently on sale in more than 500 Post Offices.
Scottish pride
The stamps are available in Lossiemouth Post Office and feature an image of Heather Stanning and her partner Helen Glover winning the Women’s Pairs rowing final.
To celebrate the gold medal wins of Helen Glover and Heather Stanning in the women’s pairs rowing, and Bradley Wiggins in the cycling road men’s time trial, we have painted the first of our postboxes gold.
A postbox in Penzance, Cornwall where Helen is from, Heather’s home town of Lossiemouth, Moray and Chorley in Lancashire where Wiggins lives, have all been painted gold this morning.
Managing director of stamps and collectibles, Andrew Hammond, presents the two clips of our gold medal winning heroes’ stamps coming off the presses.
The first clip shows Helen Glover and Heather Stanning’s stamp being printed after their success in the Olympic Women’s Pairs rowing final.
