It does seem a lot of expense given that he has a very limited time left to reign.

Could A4 photocopies not be arranged? Easy to find a frame too.

maggiebee, steady on, you are risking being called an "anti monarchist". What we post on AB tends to have a habit of nipping our derrieres ;)

anne, no less a personage than Oliver Dowden, the cabinet minister, says it's part of "plans to celebrate the new reign and bring the nation together". I can't make the coronation myself, as I'm down to wash my hair that day, but it'll be nice to think I can see a portrait of the king when I'm queuing at the Post Office.

You might as well leave the anti-monarchists to tut tut amongst themselves on this thread.

It could be worse; they could use portraits of the current Prime Minister. At the current rate-of-change that would bankrupt the country in no time.

Actually we don't change coins/stamps etc, we just switch the image when new ones are minted leaving the old ones still valid.

Well considering nothing had had to be changed for 70 years it's not that bad.
