| 1991: Europa - Europe in Space |
In August 1846 Queen Victoria was the first monarch to visit Guernsey. The attention of European astronomers, and no doubt Price Albert, was on the hunt for a previously unknown eighth planet, in fact this planet, later named Neptune, was seen twice in August but mistaken for a star and was not identified as a planet until September 1846.

Thank you for the variety of stamps. I like your Queen live stamps!
Several unexpected queens! The queen of hearts made me laugh. And on Queen Victoria's birthday it is nice to see the queen herself (though we celebrate the weekend before her birthday. I believe we are the only country who has it as a holiday!)
I didn't expect these queens!
And I did not know about Victoria Day.
whoa! awesome Queen Live set!!!!!! I really like the playing card queen.
At first I didn't realise the top one was a stamp! Great Q post, and they all have Queen Elizabeth II's silhouette.
Queen, the band, surprised me, I never thought of it! I love the first one.
I did not know that, how interesting. Our bank holiday is today 25th designated as Spring Bank Holiday but still gets called Whit Monday as in the past it tied in with Whitsunday (Pentecost) so was moveable.
