A SET of 12 special stamps is to honour music legend Sir Paul McCartney.
It covers the ex-Beatle’s solo career, from 1970’s McCartney album to last year’s McCartney III.
Royal Mail collaborated closely with the 78-year-old, who is the most successful albums artist in UK chart history.
A miniature sheet of four stamps will also be available, featuring photographs spanning three decades.
Sir Paul is one of only three solo music artists to be featured in a dedicated stamp issue, after David Bowie in 2017 and Sir Elton John in 2019.
The Royal Mail’s David Gold said: “Paul McCartney remains a vital figure at the centre of rock and pop.
