I still haven't received an example of the Gold Label from Wales, but the rest of the United Kingdom is catching up fast.
Label from London, the London 2010 Festvial of Stamps on the first day of use, 8 May 2010:
Label from Lower Castlereagh, Belfast on 1 May 2010:
Label from Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow 12 May 2010
Label used from Bassett Avenue sub-PO Bicester. With no phosphor bands it was not machineable in the normal sense but still received a poor 'Thames Valley MC' machine postmark on 11 May 2010, and a census-diamond - all examples seen are like this to some extent.
Packet Label from Senghenydd, Wales, image kindly supplied by Kevin B.
Welsh label now added.

Dear Ian, it was very strange to see two Horizon labels stuck on a parcel coming from UK to Pakistan one used and the other pasted un-used ? Is that allowed or is that possible ?
