Royal Mail says the stamps will be issued on July 7, “to celebrate one of the most successful and influential British rock bands of all time.”
Six of the stamps will feature artwork from six classic Pink Floyd albums – The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, Atom Heart Mother, The Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Endless River.
