Today I got five postcards: three from the United Kingdom and two from Germany.
One of the cards from the United Kingdom shows the Palace of Westminster and the Elisabeth Tower in London. The Palace of Westminster is also known as the Houses of Parliament as it houses the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The Palace of Westminster was rebuilt from 1840 onwards as example of the neo-Gothic architecture after it was destroyed by a fire. Together with the Westminster Abbey and the Saint Margaret’s Church is the Palace of Westminster since 1987 on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Stamps:
Queen's head
World War I Centenary (from set of six) (issued 28-07-2014)
The stamp shows a poppy. The poppy became quick a symbol of the World War I as it bloomed on the battle fields. It symbolises both the blood of the wounded men and the fragility of life.
Thank You very much Federica!
