How will Post Offices across the UK be commemorating the Jubilee?

Earlier in the year Royal Mail launched a special 50p to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s 70 year reign.

There were around 1.3 million put into circulation, and many people were excited about the potential of getting the collectable item.

Postmaster Umesh Sanghani, who has run Dedworth Green Post Office in Windsor for 23 years, alongside his wife Rashmita, spoke on the exciting addition: “We had had many customers coming into our Post Office to check that we are going to get the special 50p coin.”

“They didn’t want to miss out on this souvenir. I am a Royalist. It is amazing that the Queen has reached her 70^th anniversary.”

“I am really looking forward to the celebrations this year.”
