Sign of the times

THE King's new cypher, which will soon become an everyday sight across Britain, has been revealed.

Featuring the intertwined letters CR, it is to appear on coins, stamps, postboxes and passports.

It will also feature on government buildings, medals, official papers, military uniforms and royal staff clothes.

Buckingham Palace unveiled the new design last night. The King was recently spotted wearing it on his tie.

It will replace the ER cypher used during the late Queen's 70-year reign.

That appears on more than 60% of the 115,000 red and gold post boxes.

There are no plans to replace those pillar boxes, but any new ones will bear the King's new cypher.
