Remembrance

Remembrance at Royal Mail
Royal British Legion

The stamps are issued on Armistice Day, 11 November, one of the UK’s most significant occasions of collective remembrance, marked by acts of reflection across the country. This year also marks 110 years since the Battle of the Somme, which began on 1 July 1916 and became one of the defining battles of the First World War.

The six stamps feature specially commissioned artworks by British artist Matthew Cook, reflecting different aspects of Remembrance. Each has been painted using a colour palette inspired by the red poppy, one of the most enduring and recognisable symbols of remembrance.
