To celebrate legendary rock band Queen’s golden anniversary, Britain’s Royal Mail has issued 13 special postage stamps to honour the group. Formed in 1970, the band, made up of Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon and the late Freddie Mercury, completes 50 years in the music industry this year.

The collection is inspired by the group’s most popular album covers, as well as live performances.

Eight of the stamps will feature images of Queen’s most iconic album covers, including 1974 LP, Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack (1974), A Night At The Opera (1975), News Of The World (1977), The Game (1980), Greatest Hits (1981), The Works (1984) and the band’s final studio album to be released during Freddie’ lifetime, Innuendo (1991).
