Royal Stamp of Approval

The exhibition is a display of stamps and philatelic material to celebrate and commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who ascended to the Throne on 6th February 1952. The material on display is organised and assembled by John Davis FRPSL (Fellow of the Royal Philatelic Society, London). The exhibition is only on for a limited time, running from the 1st to the 10th February in the Castle’s Great Hall.

The exhibition has been inspired by the combined triple interest in philately, the monarchy and genealogy. It affords the opportunity of not only showing a time-line of the royal events to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty the Queen, but includes her royal ancestry, and her European connections through Queen Victoria. As well as illustrating the royal visitors that to Highcliffe Castle in the past.
