I was sending a birthday card to Neil the other day (Happy Birthday, Neil!) when I noticed something odd about the Swedish 11Kr stamp.
The first time I looked at it, I thought it had a picture of the Swedish pop star/eurovision song contest winner, Carola on it.
Turn’s out to just be Queen Silvia of Sweden.

Here’s a video of Queen Silvia performing in the final of the 1991 ESC with “FĂ„ngad av en stormvind”
Hi Gary,
Just as well the card arrived today (Thanks very much); this blog item could have spoiled the surprise!
Neil.
Question is: Would you hit it?
Is she any relation to Carola Foam?
