Isle of Man Post Office is doing its part to celebrate the Queen's 95th birthday.

The organisation is presenting six new stamps commemorating Her Majesty’s long reign as well as pay tribute to Prince Philip.

The issue title ‘Devoted To Your Service’ is an extract from a speech during her first overseas tour in 1947.

Maxine Cannon, General Manager Isle of Man Stamps & Coins, says it's their way of recognising and celebrating the values everyone shares through their common association with the monarch.
