The story of the Roll narrated by its Keeper, Jon Aitchison

Jon Aitchison, the Keeper of the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists, talks to George James of Stanley Gibbons about the history of the Roll; how it all started in the 1920s, the fathers of philately, the selection of the new signatories, its centenary, his projection towards the bicentenary and much more.

You can watch the video on the Digital Philatelist website, where we picked it up from, or directly on the YouTube here.
