Hello and welcome to the Stanley Gibbons 'Mini-Talks' Theatre. Our teams have created a number of short videos discussing items or areas of philately that we hope you'll find interesting. There are four different talks in the theatre with our showcase presentation in screen 1, looking back at the 'Queen Elizabeth's II Platinum Jubilee Exhibition'. We have tried to offer something or everyone so please, make a cup of tea, get comfortable, and enjoy the show! Thank you.



Screen 1: The QEII Platinum Jubilee Exhibition

To celebrate Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we look back at the exhibition hosted to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee. It offered an introductory story telling of the monarch's reign through stamps.
