Royal Mail has marked the British Empire Games in 1925, as well as Commonwealth Games in Cardiff 1958, Edinburgh 1970, Edinburgh 1986, Manchester 2002 and most recently Glasgow 2014 with special stamps, as souvenirs.

David Gold, Director of External Affairs and Policy at Royal Mail, said: “It’s fantastic to have the event take place in the UK.”
