New stamp collection honours Trevor Hemmings CVO

The Grand National returns this weekend (11 April) and as part of this year's event the Isle of Man Post Office will be paying tribute to one of our former residents, Trevor Hemmings.

The British billionaire businessman, who died in 2021, was a stalwart of the horse racing world.

As the jockeys and the crowds return to Aintree, the Isle of Man Post Office is issuing a collection of stamps featuring Mr Hemmings and some of his famous horses and in support of the Injured Jockeys Fund.

And today, on Ladies' Day (9 April), there will be a special presentation for members of The Jockey Club, Grossick Photography, Kathryn Revitt and the Hemmings family.

And could these stamps even do a lap of the racecourse?
