Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee First Day Cover

Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; 21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022) was Queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms from 6 February 1952 until her death in 2022. She was queen regnant of 32 sovereign states during her lifetime and 15 at the time of her death. Her reign of 70 years and 214 days was the longest of any British monarch and the longest verified reign of any female monarch in history.

A brief history of QEII can be found in wikipedia link here.

I'm very lucky to have a chance getting one of my favorite Fist Day Cover this year with the theme of "Her Majesty The Queen's Platinum Jubilee" issued by the UK Royal Mail.

Here some of the photo for a closer looks at this beautiful designed FDC.
