One of his first Taims was to broaden the British Post Office’s crite- ria for issuing stamps which, at the time, was very conservative. Until then, only 20 commemorative issues had been made in the 12 years of Queen Elizabeth’s reign, of which 11 had been in the previ- ous two years. Almost all designs had been graphic and symbolic and there had been an outcry when an image of Shakespeare, a commoner but long dead, had appeared beside the living Queen. No living person, other than the monarch, was to be shown. Tony Benn as Postmaster General, 1964 The existing policy had been summed up only a few months before: He made this announcement in a written reply to a parliamentary question on 15 December and, refer- “The policy of the Post Office is to confine ring to forthcoming 1965 issues, invited MPs and [stamp issues] to marking outstanding national the public to submit suggestions to him as quickly or international events and Royal and postal as possible. anniversaries.” The Queen’s Head This was justified as a means to limit the number of stamp issues: NDOUBTEDLY, the most important “This policy does from time to time oblige us suggestion resulting from Benn’s public to refuse what could otherwise be eminently Uinvitation came with a letter from David Gentle- ‘stamp-worthy’ events.

  • 25Th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain Date of Issue: 13 September 1965
    SPECIAL STAMP ISSUE 25th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain Date of issue: 13 September 1965 ‘Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.’ With these words Winston Churchill paid tribute to the men of the Royal Air Force who defended Britain against the German air assault in the autumn of 1940. Only months after the retreat from Dunkirk, Britain faced perhaps the darkest days of the entire war as the Luftwaffe launched an all-out bombardment intended to pave the way for a German invasion. For the first time in the history of warfare, an entire battle was fought in the air: the Battle of Britain took place between 10 July and 31 October 1940, reaching its climax in mid-September when the German bombers began to blitz London. By the end of the battle, the RAF had lost 911 aircraft with 414 pilots killed; Luftwaffe losses totalled 1,733 aircraft. REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL STAMP ISSUE September 1965 marked the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, and the Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA) planned a special commemoration during Battle of Britain Week, an event that had been held annually since the war. On 11 May 1964 L G Johnson, a holder of the Distinguished Flying Cross and Deputy General Secretary of the Royal Air Forces Association, wrote to the Postmaster General (PMG), Reginald Bevins MP, with a request that the Post Office issue special stamps to mark the anniversary. He wrote: ‘This turning point in our history ... should not be allowed to pass uncommemorated, and one very appropriate way which would bring the occasion to the minds of people both at home and overseas would be the issue of a special postage stamp or stamps as is customary on similar anniversaries of national importance or interest.’ Despite Johnson’s assertion that stamps commemorating ‘similar anniversaries’ were the norm, D H Beaumont of the Postal Services Department replied that a Battle of Britain issue would not be possible, based on the Post Office’s policy regarding special stamps.

Spearheading the movement that became known as ‘historically-informed performance’, he promoted it to the mainstream through his work on 17th- and 18th-century repertoire with the Academy of Ancient Music, and went on to apply its principles to music of all periods with the world’s leading symphony orchestras and opera houses. His editions of music were published by the major international houses, and in his writings, lectures and broadcasts he was admired equally for his intellectual rigour and his accessible presentation. Born in Notingham, Christopher was educated at Notingham High School, The Skinners' School, Royal Tunbridge Wells, and Pembroke College, University of Cambridge, where he read Classics and Music.
