Isle of Man - Stamp Packet

The Isle of Man is located in the Irish Sea in between Britain and Ireland. It is a Crown dependency, meaning that Queen Elizabeth II is its head of state, but is represented by a Lieutenant Governor. While not a part of the UK, the United Kingdom does assume responsibility for its foreign relation and defence. Civilization on the Isle of Man goes back the Middle Stone Age. Some of the most famous individuals born on the Isle of Man are probably the members of the pop group the Bee Gees. The stamp history of the Isle of Man goes back to 1973.
