This is a pair of stamps from a recent set of ten issued by the UK's Royal Mail to commemorate 100 years since the issuing of their first commemorative stamp on 23 April 1924. The first British commemorative stamp was issued on the occasion of the first day of the British Empire Exhibition.
This envelope was the special envelope made available for the first-day cover. And the postmark that declares "Collect British Stamps" and "Worlds Greatest Hobby" is a permanent postmark available from the Royal Mail's London handstamp center.
