June will have started as May ended with the default British Heart Foundation postmark although I've yet to see any examples.
We might get one for Father's Day as we did in 2023, and we might get one towards the end of the month for Pride Month, but there are no other regular slogans in previous years. Maybe the Royal Observatory will be marked, as has been done with previous years' June stamp issues.
Update 26 June It has taken most of the month, but I have today received a BHF slogan from Chester & N Wales Mail Centre dated 23/06/2025

UPDATE 26 June
Royal Mail is supporting Armed Forces Day with this postmark which started yesterday.
Here's the mock-up they used on social media (at the same time last year we had a slogan for postal voting).

UPDATE 3 July - The last slogan for June will run into July, and is the annual 'Dog Awareness Week' slogan reminding homeowners to keep their dogs under control when the postman calls (and any other time for that matter!).
This is the same as last year, with the Protect Your Postie caption. Thanks to JM for this one from Inverness Mail Centre on 30-06-2025.

Other postmarks and postal markings
Nothing remarkable was provided for May, except this one which was delivered in June, so I am including it here. Thanks to JH for sending this example of a 'Morse code' counter handstamp from Crab Lane Harrogate dated 30 May 2025.
Here from Google street view is the PO branch in the OneStop store at 40B Crab Ln, Harrogate HG1 3BG, which also has a bank of InPost lockers.
