The Queens Head is Saved! British Government Decision

This is a follow up to our story http://stampcollectingresources.blogspot.com/2010/12/off-with-her-head-queen-to-be-taken-off.html

Thank goodness the British Government acted quickly on this - can you imagine a GB stamp without the Queens head? Well I hope to be alive to see Prince Charles, or King Charles, as he will be known - one day!

Queen Elizabeth has appeared on postage stamps since 1967. Now Britain plans to privatize the Royal Mail. That caused fears that some foreign buyer could remove the queen from stamps. The government says it will add a condition to the sale: Elizabeth stays on stamps.
