United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland - Wembley - Football in and around London

A lot of the United Kingdom postmarks are requested and paid for by private companies that sell all sorts of first day and commemorative covers. One of those is Dawn Cover Productions that sells, among others, football covers since 1970.

There are two more or less permanent postmarks from Dawn Cover Productions, one in Wembly and one in Manchester, although the design changes almost every year. The postmark on the envelope I sent to the London Special Handstamp Center was in use from 16 August 2016 to 15 August 2017. I used stamps from the Football Legends issue of 14 May 1996.
