Liverpool Cathedral to feature on Royal Mail Christmas Stamp

Royal Mail has today (Tuesday 5 November) announced that an original illustration of Liverpool Cathedral will feature as the First Class stamp for its Christmas Special Stamps in 2024.

This year holds additional importance to the city as it marks the centenary of the consecration of the cathedral.

An enlargement of the original artwork used for the stamp was commissioned and will go on display in the cathedral during the festive season. 

Royal Mail’s 2024 Christmas stamps feature some of the many spectacular cathedrals in the UK – the remaining four completing the set being: Edinburgh; Armagh; Bangor; and Westminster. 

The stamps were illustrated by Penzance-based, British artist, Judy Joel, whose popular paintings have been sold worldwide over the last 50 years.  

The Very Revd Dr Sue Jones, Dean of Liverpool, said:

“Having always said we are a first-class cathedral we are honoured to be this year’s Christmas First Class stamp. This comes at the end of our centenary year of celebrations and is a magnificent way to mark what has been a tremendous year. 

“Royal Mail has chosen a great mix of cathedrals to showcase whilst reflecting the importance that these beautiful places of worship have in so many people’s Christmas traditions.”

David Gold, Director of External Affairs and Policy said: 

“We are delighted to mark the centenary of Liverpool Cathedral on our First Class Christmas stamp. Cathedrals are a hugely significant part of our cultural heritage and play an important role in local communities. They also offer space for peaceful reflection and a bit of an escape from the challenges of daily life, which can be especially important at Christmas.”

The stamps and a range of collectible products are available to buy from today (5 November) at www.royalmail.com/christmas2024 and by telephone on 03457 641641 and 7,000 Post Offices across the UK.
