Labour on the run. Speaking at the Tories' spring conference,
he issued a warning to Tony Blair, insisting Britain 'now
wanted a Prime Minister who told the truth'. As Mr Blair in

Royal Wedding Stamps
The Royal Mail has unveiled two stamps showing Prince Charles
and Camilla Parker Bowles to mark their wedding. The prince
and his partner chose the photographs, which were approved
by the Queen.
A royal wedding is always a very special occasion and for
decades Royal Mail has marked these important events with
commemorative stamps. The photograph for the 30p stamp was
taken at the Mey Games in Scotland last year while the other
was taken at the Queen's Balmoral estate in Scotland. Both
will be on sale for a month.
The last Royal commemorative stamps were issued to mark Prince
William's 21st birthday in 2003. Commemorative stamps to mark
the Queen's coronation in 1953 and a set to mark death of
Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997, are among the most popular
ever issued.
