Location Of First Red Postbox To Carry King Charles' Cypher Has Been Revealed

The first red postbox bearing King Charles III's cypher has been installed more than a year after the Kings Coronation - the mystery location has finally been revealed as Great Cambourne.

A commemorative plaque records the special status of the historic postbox.

A number of replacement postboxes have been installed since Charles acceded to the throne in 2022, but existing stocks carrying the cypher of Queen Elizabeth II were used until now, to prevent wastage.

The King's cypher will be applied to the doors of the Royal Mail's fleet of vehicles, replacing the late Queen's, with an initial roll-out of 100 trucks on Friday and a further 290 over the next six weeks.

In total 3,636 vehicles will be updated between August and October this year.
