New stamps for the Royal Mail

[justcarol67]

Some of you may be interested in this link, which will take you to the
Oxford Dictionary of National Biography's page honoring the people
selected whose portraits will be featured on the Royal Mail's new
first-class stamps. Clicking the stamps will take you to the ODNB
biography for that person.

Several of the honorees are British writers: Shakespeare, of course,
along with T. S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, and Sir Walter Scott. Other
famous people on the stamps include Churchill and Darwin.

No living people are featured, so the richest woman in England isn't
included. Still, I thought some of you might be interested,
particularly if you like England and the English. Or make that Britain
and the British.
