In celebration of London winning the 2012 Summer Olympic Games six stamps are being produced by the Royal Mail, depicting events such as swimming and diving.
The stamps will go on sale Friday to coincide with the World Athletic Championships in Helsinki.
London 2012 chairman Sebastian Coe said, “this is a celebratory gesture to be proud of. These special London 2012 stamps will keep this wonderful achievement at the forefront of people’s minds over the next few months. By backing the successful London bid, the people of the UK have helped London win the most exciting sporting prize ever”.
The collection will be available for the next two years.
