Congratulations! Yes, that's what I was looking for.
Traditionally only the Royal family are supposed to appear on stamps whilst they're alive, anyone else has to be dead first.
But when they did a stamp feauring Freddie Mercury it had Roger Taylor in silhouette at the drum kit behind him, thus breaking the tradition  |
