Topic: Stamps celebrate 60 years of The Rolling Stones

[Simon]

A set of 12 stamps will be launched later this month to celebrate The Rolling Stones, as the band marks its 60th anniversary.

Royal Mail said that eight of the stamps feature images of the band's most famous performances, including 1969 in London's Hyde Park, a 1995 concert in Rotterdam, and a gig at the 1976 Knebworth Festival.

The Hyde Park event was a free outdoor festival held just two days after the death of the band's founding member Brian Jones.

Jones was replaced by guitarist Mick Taylor, who was later replaced by Ronnie Wood.

Four more stamps will be available in miniature sheet format, featuring two photos of the band together and two of their worldwide tour posters.

Good for them.  They deserve it.
