The perfect way to celebrate the announcement of an Honour

"I was delighted to receive my parchment of the London Gazette. It is a fantastic memento and will take pride of place in my home. I will certainly buy copies as gifts for my friends and family."

P. Hollingshead, London, 'Mention in Despatches'

Many famous people have appeared in the London Gazette during its almost 350 year history. Great deeds, feats of gallantry, and the birth and demise of royalty are published alongside everyday life such as public sector appointments, changes of name, naturalisation, the deceased, insolvency and other records too numerous to mention.

Limited edition ribbon bound parchment Supplements are available to recipients of honours and for other special occasions.

The Supplement is printed on parchment paper and bound by hand with scarlet ribbon.

The name of recipient and the honour is printed on the cover beneath an embossed crest. The Supplement is presented in a high quality gift box.

Please be aware that due to their labour intensive nature parchment supplements are produced at three monthly intervals.
