Paddington Bear is to appear on 10 special stamps released by the Royal Mail to mark his 65th anniversary.
Six of the stamps feature images from animator Ivor Wood's comic strip cartoons first published in the London Evening News in the 1970s. The other four stamps capture moments from the BBC television series that Wood designed and directed from 1976. The Peruvian bear first appeared in 1958 in Michael Bond's book A Bear Called Paddington. What next for characters on stamps? Mark and Pete have the answers.
It is the first time he has been dedicated his own stamp set.
