There’s been a party in Trafalgar Square, plans to name football facilities after them and now the Lionesses have been given another seal – or stamp – of approval with their very own postmark.
Royal Mail has announced it will be applying a special congratulatory postmark to all stamped mail this week in honour of the team’s sensational victory.
Since England women’s spectacular 2-1 win against Germany at Wembley Stadium, the nation has been enthralled with the country’s new European football champions.
Royal Mail, which delivers to 31 million homes up and down the UK, said it wanted to issue its own tribute in the form of a postmark to recognise the national football team winning such a major competition.
The postmark reads – ‘Congratulations England! Women’s European Football Champions, 31 July 2022.’
Natasha Ayivor, from Royal Mail said: “It’s a fantastic achievement that we feel is deserving of a special postmark. It’s been amazing to watch this group of talented footballers bring the nation together.
“We congratulate the manager, the players and all of the backroom staff on the win!”
All letters stamped between now and the weekend will carry the limited edition postmark.
