Great Britain is a Western European island in the North Sea. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (Northern Ireland since 1922) issued the world's first postage stamps in 1840. From 1958 regional stamps are also issued in Scotland, Wales and Monmouthshire, Northern Ireland, Man, Jersey and Guernsey and from 2001 also in England. These regional stamps are also valid in the rest of the UK and are used in conjunction with the normal issues. However, since 1969 and 1973 respectively, the British crown territories of Jersey/Guernsey and Man no longer belong to the British postal territory.
