Paul McCartney gets own set of Royal Mail stamps

Eight of the stamps will show images of Paul McCartney’s album covers, from his 1970 debut “McCartney” solo record to last year’s “McCartney III”.

Singer-songwriter Paul McCartney has numerous hits, awards and even a knighthood to his name. Now the former Beatle can add a personalised set of stamps to his long list of accolades. Britain’s Royal Mail said on Thursday it will issue a set of 12 stamps depicting McCartney and his work, saying it was paying tribute to “one of the most iconic and enduring music artists of all time”.
