Edward VIII pillar box

Today we walked to an example of the rarest kind of Royal cypher pillar box - from the reign of Edward VIII. It's a bit indistinct, but Edward VIII can be made out in the ornate symbol. He was only king for 326 days in 1936 and I have read that there are only 171 post boxes with his cypher. This one is near Twickenham Stadium (which is just visible in the background) and only about 40 minutes walk from our house. Blipping this gave me a disproportionate sense of achievement!
