A new set of stamps honouring the Queen will be available from November 10.
The Royal Mail announced four new stamps will be released in honour of the late Queen. The new release is the first to be approved by King Charles and will go on general sale from November 10, featuring images of the late monarch through the years.
Simon Thompson, chief executive of Royal Mail, said: “For the past 70 years every British stamp has been personally approved by Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth.

“Today we are unveiling these stamps, the first to be approved by His Majesty The King, in tribute to a woman whose commitment to public service and duty was unparalleled in the history of this country.”
A photograph, taken by Dorothy Wilding in 1952 to mark the Queen’s accession and coronation, will feature on second-class stamps, while the first-class stamp will include a photo taken by Cecil Beaton in 1968 in which the monarch is standing in her admiral’s cloak with her head tilted to the left.
A portrait taken in November 1984 by Yousuf Karsh will appear on £1.85 stamps, and a photo taken by Tim Graham in 1996 while the Queen attended a banquet at Prague Castle during her visit to the Czech Republic will be the image on the £2.55 stamps.
All four stamp images were released in the Golden Jubilee stamp issue in 2002 and were approved by the late Queen for issue that year, Wales Online reported.
