Melanie Gouzinis, Head of Philatelic at Jersey Post said, “The Queen and Prince Philip have approached their royal duties with dedication, devotion and, where appropriate, humour enabling them to rely on each other and enjoy seventy years of marriage together. This stamp issue honours them by focusing on important milestones in their lives together.”
The set of six stamps depict the following
49p The Engagement
63p The Wedding Day
73p The Honeymoon
