How will Post Offices across the UK be commemorating the Jubilee?

The Post Office rolled out 1.3 million Platinum Jubilee 50p coins earlier this year to commemorate the momentous occasion.

People were excited to get their hands on the collectible.

Postmaster Umesh Sanghani, who has run Dedworth Green Post Office in Windsor for 23 years, alongside his wife Rashmita, spoke on the exciting addition: “We had had many customers coming into our Post Office to check that we are going to get the special 50p coin.”

“They didn’t want to miss out on this souvenir. I am a Royalist. It is amazing that the Queen has reached her 70^th anniversary.”
