The Isle of Man Post Office is pleased to present a landmark stamp issue to celebrate the 2012 London Olympic Games.

An event of the magnitude of the Olympic Games – the greatest show on Earth - attracts leading figures from different areas of expertise and world-renowned international designer Sir Paul Smith has demonstrated his passion for sport by designing this wonderful stamp issue.

This prestigious collection of stamps will help ensure that the memory of the Games remains in the mind long after the last medal has been awarded.

The first day cover features the full set of stamps cancelled with the first day of issue special postmark.

The story of the issue is inside, told on an illustrated information card.

The retail pack is a top-quality full colour card wrap and combines both set and and miniature sheet first day covers.
