New stamps to show album covers
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A dogs' home, the Girl Guides and album covers will all be featured on new stamps being released in 2010.
Legendary designs on albums including Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells and Blur's classic Parklife will appear on stamps in January, followed by special stamps in February to mark the 100th anniversary of girl guiding.
Another anniversary will be celebrated in March - the 150th of Battersea Dogs Home in London.
Other stamps planned for later in the year will feature children's books, the Olympic and Paralympic Games, musicals and railways.
Julietta Edgar, head of special stamps at Royal Mail, said: "Royal Mail's special stamps are famous around the world for their ability to capture the richness and diversity of British heritage and culture.
"As different as they are distinctive, special stamps bring together famous people, great art, historic events and major anniversaries on millions of miniature canvasses every month."
