They're famous for their guitar 'licks'. Now rockers Queen are set to feature on a new set of UK postage stamps. The 13 stamps, issued by the Royal Mail, are being issued as a tribute to the British band. Eight stamps will feature images of some of their most popular and iconic album covers. Guitarist Brian May said: "It?s hard to put into words what I feel when looking at these beautiful stamps. "Since we four precocious boys started out on our quest 50 years ago, our lives have been devoted to making our impossible dream come true. Sometimes it?s strange to wake up and realise the position in which we are now held ? we have become a national institution. "And nothing brings this home more than this incredible tribute from Royal Mail." Drummer Roger Taylor added: "What an honour. We must be really part of the furniture now!" Queen?s live performances are celebrated in a miniature sheet of additional stamps, with images from: Wembley Stadium, 1986; Hyde Park, 1976; Hammersmith Odeon, 1975; and Budapest, 1986. Philip Parker of the Royal Mail said: ?With their truly original, theatrical sound and effortless ability to mix musical styles, Queen are rock royalty. We pay tribute to one of the most loved bands of all time with these stunning stamps.? Also included in the miniature-sheet is the iconic shot taken at the group?s first ever studio photoshoot in a Primrose Hill studio in 1974 by Johnny Dewe Mathews. The full set of 13 stamps, available in a Presentation Pack, retails at ?L16 GBP.
