This is a list of British postage stamps issued by the Royal Mail postal service of the United Kingdom, normally referred to in philatelic circles as Great Britain. This list should be consistent with printed publications, [1] [2] and cite sources of any deviation (e.g., magazine issue listing newly found variations).
