On the day, Arthur will also make a guest appearance at Stampex where he will be on hand from 2.00 - 3.30pm at the Post Office's stand signing the stamps first day covers.

Isle of Man Post Office will attend the show with some of its most anticipated stamp collections including latest releases, Chinese Year of the Monkey, 150th anniversary of Royal Aero Society and it's newly released Long to Reign Over Us stamp collection celebrating Her Majesty the Queens 90th birthday. A special cover to mark the shows Diamond Jubilee has also been produced and this, along with all its latest and newly released stamp issues, can be purchased from the Post Office's stand.

Maxine Cannon, General Manager of Isle of Man Stamps and Coins said: "Our presence at this year's Spring Stampex will enable us to showcase our latest stamp collections to existing and prospective collectors and trade customers who attend the show from around the world that we wouldn't ordinarily be able to easily meet with."

"Isle of Man Stamps and Coins have attended Stampex for a number of years now and it has continued to be of great value to us. We are confident that this year's show will be equally worthwhile and look forward to attending."
