Royal Mail has unveiled two versions of Olympic stamp books, one containing the key dates in the countdown to the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games, and the other with a quote from Lord Coe, Chairman of the London 2012 Organising Committee.
The stamps will bear a Games-related logo as well as an image of the Queen, which Sky News reports is the first time this has ever happened.
The stamps will be available from Post Offices and retailers starting Thursday January 5.
Royal Mail will also issue special gold medal stamps to celebrate every Team GB Olympic Games gold medal win, as part of a separate initiative.
