Notes: These covers were issued 50 years ago in 1966 to mark the 900th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings. I have added the new 950th anniversary stamp and stamp label from the new Royal Mail commemorative stamp sheet. I only had seven of these 1966 covers in stock to add the extra stamp and postmark.
