One may wonder what is going through the minds of Queen Elizabeth and King George VI as they posed for this anniversary picture. They seem to have the same expression; perhaps sending telepathic messages to each other...
I cannot find if they ever actually visited Trinidad, though Prince Edward did visit in 1920 as did his father, George V, as a child in 1880. The current Queen Elizabeth visited for the first time in 1966.
for the letter T - Trinidad and Tobago, three cents
They do have a rather intent look on their faces. A classic stamp for today.
ReplyDeleteA popular omnibus issue people like to collect, its an interesting photo.
ReplyDeleteand I realized too late that I've already used this image for another country! (but it's also a different colour and denomination)
DeleteI don't actually collect them, but I do have quite a few.
I must be old as I remember that silver wedding.
ReplyDeleteTheir expression is like the parents that are seeing the children breaking an expensive vase, but they can't do nothing because they are posing for a stamp...
