Royal Mail is honouring David Bowie with commemorative stamps - take a look

The Royal Mail will issue a special set of 10 stamps to commemorate the late pop star, David Bowie.

Bowie passed away in his New York City apartment just over a year ago, following an 18-month battle with liver cancer.

This is the first time the Royal Mail has ever dedicated an entire stamp collection to one cultural figure, though The Beatles and Pink Floyd were honoured likewise in 2010 and 2015 respectively.

The set comprises stamps showcasing six highlights of Bowie's 25 studio albums and a further four stamps taken from the artist's live tours across four decades.

The collection will be welcomed by an estimated 2.5 million stamp collectors and countless other Bowie fans.

The stamps will be on sale from 14 March 2017 but fans can pre-order them here.
