It may not have won any medals, but the Post Office is celebrating its own success in Beijing during the Olympics.
Representatives went to the Olympic Stamp Expo in China to showcase its range of Manx stamps to collectors and fans.
The Post Office stand featured displays in both Chinese and English, and attracted a great deal of interest.
In particular, collections showing royalty and landscapes found favour, and long lines of Chinese collectors waited to collect a postmark.
The visit also provided an opportunity to meet the Chinese national post in preparation for a return visit to Beijing in October for a Dealers Exhibition.
