Canada Post has issued a new stamp paying tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The stamp has a 2017 photo of the Queen taken in Portsmouth, England, by Chris Jackson. Canada already has stamp with the photo of Queen Elizabeth II, issued in May 1953. There have been several stamps with royal coverage, such as those that commemorate the reigns of both King George V and King George VI.
The new stamp, designed by Steven Slipp, has a photo of Her Majesty wearing the Canadian Maple-leaf brooch during her 2010 Royal Tour of Canada, a piece of jewellery worn during royal tours to Canada by several generations of women in the Royal Family.
The booklet of 10 stamps and the Official First Day Cover (OFDC) are available at canadapost.ca and at postal outlets across Canada. The OFDC was cancelled in Ottawa, Ontario.
