Special commemorative cover for Trooping The Colour 2014
The British Forces Philatelic Service (BFPS), in partnership with The Household Division, will issue a special commemorative cover on the 14th June 2014, to mark the Trooping The Colour at this year’s Queen’s Birthday Parade.
These limited edition official covers are excellent souvenirs of this State event and are sold to fundraise for Forces charities. They each include the 1st Class stamp depicting The King’s Troop Ceremonial Horses, cancelled by a unique handstamp incorporating the cypher of the Grenadier Guards. The main image shows the Queen’s Colour of the 2nd Battalion, which is being carried by Nijmegen Company. Along the bottom of the cover are the insignia of all units taking part in the parade. The badge of the Household Division is also included. The cover comes complete with an A4 information sheet in full colour providing information about Trooping The Colour and a short history of the Grenadier Guards.
The covers will be released for sale from the 14 June 2014 and will cost £5 (standard) and £7.50 (signed). If ordered now a special discount price of £4 and £6.50 applies, until 14th June (visit www.bfps.org.uk/shop). .
