Scarce Presentation Folder
A magnificent Gibraltar Post folder
celebrating the life of Diana, Princess of
Wales. The commemorative stamps depict
the Princess in superb ‘classic’ black and
white images. The folder contains the set
of four collector sheetlets, the set of four
stamps and the miniature sheet, together
with a brief account of her life, from her
engagement to HRH the Prince of Wales
to her untimely death.
Just 1500 folders are being issued
worldwide, all individually hand
numbered, complete with a matching
slipcase. Prompt ordering is strongly
recommended. PPM0039 £29.95

The death of Princess Diana in August 1997
sent a shockwave of horror round the world
and provoked an extraordinary outpouring
of grief and sympathy, symbolised most
memorably in the mountains of flowers left
outside Royal Palaces and other locations
and the hundreds of thousands of signatures
in books of condolence.

Gambia

This superb collection of mint stamps, miniature sheets and sheetlets
from around the world reflects the universal admiration in which the
Princess was and is still held ten years after her tragic and shocking
death. The images reflect the many sides of her character and capture
her unique beauty on official engagements and at less formal moments.
