2013 (08) Andy Murray M/S - RM - Dunblane CDS

Amazing Royal Mail cover with the M/S cancelled by the rare and poignant Dunblane CDS - Only a handful of covers were serviced here and the funds went to the local school charity....

Why this CDS ? - In March 1996, a gunman broke into a primary school in the small Scottish town of Dunblane and killed 16 young children and their teacher before turning the gun on himself. That murderer was named as Thomas Hamilton, a resident of the small town.

Tennis champ Andy Murray was a pupil at Dunblane Primary School when the massacre happened. Both Andy and his brother Jamie were actually in the school when the massacre took place.

They also knew the gunman Hamilton - sometimes sharing a car with the monster and attending his kids' clubs in their home town of Dunblane.
