| Breeding Penguins
04/17/2010 This stamp issue illustrates the breeding penguins of the Falkland Islands. Local photographer Alan Henry and Reinhard Mischke took the pictures for the postage stamps. The set comprises of six Airmail Postcard rate postage stamps (currently 55p) showing the head profile of each type of the five breeding penguins and an unusual picture of an albino Rockhopper penguin. Penguins are generally regarded as being synonymous with the Falkland Islands and attract a great number of tourists each year to our shores. The stamps are available singly in sheetlets of 10 and combined in a souvenir sheet. more info |
| Britain's Longest Reigning Monarchs
04/17/2010 On 21 December 2007 Elizabeth II became Britain's oldest reigning monarch surpassing Queen Victoria who died aged 81 years, seven months, four weeks and one day on 22 January 1901 and George III five days earlier. However, Queen Elizabeth II still has several years to go before becoming the longest reigning monarch. The Queen, the fifth longest-reigning monarch in 1,000 years of British history, will on March 5 next year overtake Henry III, who reigned for 56 years from 12161272. It will be 2011 before she passes the record of King James VI of Scotland and I of England and then 2012 before she overtakes George III, who served for 59 years from 17601820. With Queen Victoria remaining as the longest serving monarch who ruled the Empire for almost 64 years, providing Queen Elizabeth is still on the throne on 9 September 2015, she will take Queen Victoria's place. more info |
