Postman Paul
The delivery took place on Wednesday
Postman Paul Timson has hand delivered a bespoke gift made for King Charles III – Lord of Mann – and Queen Camilla, to Buckingham Palace, on behalf of the people of the Isle of Man.
Isle of Man Post Office (IOMPO) was asked by the Cabinet Office to make the special delivery, which took place on Wednesday.
The gift is a handcrafted wooden bowl, inlaid with peregrine falcons made from recycled silver. Designed and made by Manx artists, it reflects the Monarch’s life-long passion for the environment and traditional craftsmanship – whilst referencing the island’s rich heritage, language and culture.
Paul Timson said: ‘It was an absolute honour to represent Isle of Man Post Office (IOMPO) in delivering a gift to Buckingham Palace on behalf of the Isle of Man Government to mark the Coronation. The day was an amazing experience which I’ll never forget. A huge thank you to the Cabinet Office, Isle of Man Airport, Loganair, London City Airport and IOMPO for making it possible and ensuring everything ran smoothly from the start to the finish of a very special delivery journey.’
Diane Kelsey MLC, Vice-Chairman of IOMPO and Cabinet Office Member, said: ‘I am delighted that the Isle of Man Post Office has been included in the Island’s wide-ranging contribution to the celebration of the Coronation of King Charles – Lord of Mann – and Queen Camilla. The teamwork across all areas of the community has been inspiring.’
