Notes: These covers showcase the official Royal Mail Olympic postage stamps which are franked with official Royal Mail postmarks. So that there is no misunderstanding, the envelope designs are my own creation and are NOT official Olympic sponsored designs - hence the lack of official emblems. I am proud of the fact that I have designed my own first day covers for every Royal Mail stamp issue since 1980. I am very pleased with my designs and I hope you like them too.
