    Don't forget this set of six UK stamps from a few years ago:

    They got the captions all wrong!

    With The Beatles is 2nd, not 1st. Help was '65, not '64. Revolver was '66, not '72... :magoo:

    Stamps are self-adhesive these days, aren't they.
    So John would in effect be licking his own behind.

    I think it has to do with British stamps only portray British citizens.

    I like that it says 'Forever' on them, even if it's just an value denomination in this case.

    Looks better and also like the peace symbol. Still would have preferred another photo and perhaps B&W instead of orange

    Makes sense - odd that Yoko has never applied for UK citizenship. I'd assume she's now a US citizen.

    It's not a "British" stamp, it's a Gibraltar stamp. A number of British possessions issue their own postage stamps, which is a nice source of revenue. It's possible that Gibraltar doesn't put living people (except royalty) on postage stamps; I can't say for sure. In the United States, until a few years ago there was a postal regulation prohibiting the likenesses of living people on stamps.

    Link doesn't work. I mean the iconic one from Bob Gruen with John wearing his NYC t-shirt.
